Vintage 1960s LJM Laurentian Green Enamel Tassel Necklace, Signed

Immerse yourself in the romantic luxury of mid-century design with this stunning vintage 1950s/1960s Victorian Revival tassel pendant necklace by LJM (Laurentian Jewelry Manufacturing). Sourced from a fine estate collection, this highly collectible statement piece showcases the extraordinary texture and color execution that made Laurentian a beloved mid-century costume house.
The focal point is an exquisite 1.5" x 1" oval pendant layered with a vibrant, emerald green guilloché-textured enamel background. An ornate, bright gold-tone filigree overlay is delicately centered on the enamel, set with luminous opalite faux-milk glass cabochon rhinestones. The pendant is topped with a matching rhinestone-encrusted ribbon bale and finished with a fluid, multi-strand liquid gold chain tassel, giving the entire pendant a dramatic 3.5-inch total drop length. Suspended from its original, heavy 25.15-inch textured double-link rope chain, this lavalier-style necklace anchors any wardrobe with a sophisticated antique look.
