A quietly striking vintage necklace centered around a sculptural silver-tone pendant depicting a bird in flight enclosed within an open circular frame. The bird’s wings are outstretched, detailed with feathered texture, giving the pendant a sense of motion and lift while remaining grounded by the clean geometry of the circle.
The pendant hangs from a substantial yet fluid silver-tone chain that adds weight and presence without overwhelming the design. The contrast between the organic form of the bird and the minimal, architectural ring gives this piece a symbolic, almost emblematic quality — freedom contained, movement held.
This necklace reads as intentional and emblematic rather than decorative. It feels like a piece chosen for meaning: a quiet talisman rather than a trend-driven accessory.
Likely mid- to late-20th century vintage, with design cues aligning with 1970s–1980s modernist or nature-inspired jewelry.
Materials
Based on visual inspection, this necklace appears to include:
Measures approximately 24 inches end to end; when worn as a continuous loop, the hang length is about 14 inches.
Pendant size 2.5 inches
Silver-tone metal chain
Silver-tone metal pendant with bird motif
Circular open-frame pendant structure
Spring-ring clasp (silver-tone metal)
Metal appears to be costume-grade silver-tone rather than sterling, consistent with vintage fashion jewelry of the period.
