French Lapis Lazuli & Textured Gold Floral Chain & Pendant Necklace circa 1970

About the Item

This is a handcrafted, French-made, organic-design, floral chain and pendant necklace from the 1970s. It has been created in 18-karat textured gold with encased lapis buttons, a chain of floral links, and a large fine-quality lapis lazuli pendant with textured gold inserts. The necklace is an excellent example of the era in which it was made. It has a strong presence and yet its movement makes it appear light and easy to wear. The chain alone is thirty inches long, with the pendant adding another four inches to the necklace’s total dimension. While it is unsigned, based on the extremely close design similarity to necklaces formerly in our collection (now sold), this fabulous necklace was likely made by Mauboussin or Rene Kern, or by one of the fine jewelers who worked for them. This stunning necklace is in excellent condition especially given its age and will make a statement for a long time to come -- as the 1970s continue to influence fashion and jewelry design.
