Vintage Art Deco Revival Crystal Festoon Necklace

A spectacular mid-century crystal necklace featuring multiple draped rows of clear rhinestones intersected by architectural baguette-cut crystals and smoky square stones. The highly articulated geometric construction creates an elaborate festoon effect with exceptional movement and brilliance.

This combination of round rhinestone swags, baguette stones and silver-tone settings is strongly associated with 1950s festoon necklaces, with comparable pieces consistently dated to the 1950s and early 1960s.

Condition
Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age.
