A striking and fun vintage costume jewelry articulated butterfly pendant necklace, dating to the 1970s. This statement piece features large, beautifully marbled wings in a rich "root beer" or tortoise-like swirl color, crafted from plastic or lucite. The body is gold-tone base metal with a textured, detailed design, and the lower tail section is articulated for subtle, natural movement.
The butterfly's head is accented with two amber-colored glass or rhinestone eyes. The large pendant hangs from a double 20-inch gold-tone chain, secured with a spring-ring clasp. This piece is unsigned/unmarked.
Condition: Excellent pre-owned vintage condition. Minimal surface wear consistent with age. Clasp is secure.
