Vintage 1980s Shabby Chic Faux Pearl Cascading Layered Necklace by Alabaster, Black and Gold Tone Accents

• Brand: Alabaster
• Era: Vintage 1980s
• Origin: Made in Korea (Stamped)
• Aesthetic: Romantic Shabby Chic / Retro Elegance / 80s Glamour
• Materials: Faux Pearls, Black Faux Onyx/Gemstone Beads, and Gold-Toned Base Metal Findings
• Style: Multi-Strand / Triple-Layer Cascading
• Closure: Gold-Tone Lobster Claw Clasp with Extender Chain
• Total Length: 25 Inches (Matinee/Opera Length drape)
• Condition: Good vintage condition with authentic aged character. The faux pearls and accent beads are beautiful, glossy, and entirely intact. Please note that the large, round gold-toned metal end caps show significant vintage patina, surface wear, and plating loss, exposing the darker base metal underneath (as shown in the photos). This wear is typical for authentic costume jewelry of the 1980s era. It is located at the back of the neck near the clasp, so it is less noticeable when worn, but it adds a lovely, genuine antique look that fits right into a romantic shabby chic aesthetic.

VINTAGE JEWELRY NOTE — PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING

This is a pre-owned vintage piece and has had a life before arriving at Edition Styles. Due to the age and pre-owned nature of vintage jewelry, pieces may show minor signs of previous wear, age, storage, patina, surface variation, light scratching, discoloration, tarnishing, plating wear, or other age-related characteristics. These qualities are normal for vintage jewelry and are part of the individual history and character of each piece.

We do our best to carefully inspect, photograph, and describe each piece and will note any significant or noticeable flaws that we observe. However, vintage items are not new, and very small signs of age or wear may be present even when a piece is described as being in beautiful or excellent vintage condition. Please carefully review all listing photographs, as the photographs are considered an important part of the item’s condition description.

Unless specifically identified and stated in the individual listing, we do not guarantee exact metal composition, plating, gemstone composition, pearl composition, or other material content. Descriptive terminology such as “gold-tone,” “silver-tone,” “rhinestone,” “crystal,” “stone,” “faux pearl,” “pearl-like,” and similar terms is used to describe the appearance, color, or style of the piece and should not be interpreted as confirmation of precious-metal or natural-gemstone content.

Any era or date provided is based on available maker information, markings, construction, design, style, and/or our best assessment of the piece. Unless an exact date is documented or otherwise specifically stated, vintage dating should be considered an estimate.

Measurements are taken by hand and are approximate. Slight variations may occur. Colors and finishes can also appear somewhat different in person due to photography, lighting conditions, reflections from metal or stones, and individual screen/display settings.

Because vintage jewelry can be delicate due to its age, we recommend handling pieces with care and avoiding unnecessary exposure to water, perfume, hairspray, lotions, household chemicals, and excessive moisture.

PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING. We want you to feel confident about your purchase. If you would like additional photographs, close-up images, measurements, photos of the back, clasp, closure, hardware, markings, stones, or any other part of the piece, or if you have any questions regarding condition, color, size, construction, or anything else, please contact us through the live chat on our website before placing your order. We are always happy to provide additional information or photographs whenever possible.

By purchasing, please make sure you have reviewed the complete description, measurements, condition information, and all available photographs for the piece.
