This is an exotically glamorous necklace, unsigned designer from the 70s, in excellent vintage condition--color loss on clasps is seen.
It is jeweled in dazzling "fruit salad" colors with dense resin cabs presenting a luminous, gripoix-like glow, and captures the play of light at every turn.
(I have seen this described as having glass cabs, but I believe they are glass-like resin.)
The finish is an antique gold tone with raised detailing, the perfect backdrop for these vibrant cabochons, lending an Old World allure.
These pieces have an Egyptian or Byzantine aura, and the necklace is pleasingly weighty yet wonderfully sinuous.
It measures @18 1/2" long by @3/4" wide.
This is a captivating and coveted set with distinctive retro glamour, a marvelous find from decades past!
