This vintage necklace is from our stock. It was acquired from a jewelry dealer. Although it's from stock, due to its age, there may be minor imperfections or slight oxidation and darkening in some areas. We will meticulously examine these with a magnifying glass and in photos. This piece has a wonderful quality, but as it is a pre-owned item, please do not compare it to new items or hold it to exceptionally high standards. 🙏🏻 ⚜️ Circa 1983 ⚜️ Hallmark: AVON ⚜️ Appears unworn, overall in excellent condition. Please examine photos closely. ⚜️ Chain length approx. 44.5cm, width approx. 0.5cm ⚜️ Alloy, with substantial metal weight 👀 Please be aware that measurements are taken with a tape measure and slight variations are normal. As jewelry is not perfectly square, the dimensions provided are the longest and widest points. 🖤 This listing is for one necklace, including its original paper box. Other items shown in photos are not included. **Important Notes Before Purchasing:** 💚 Please message us with any questions before buying. 💚 It is highly unlikely that metal components of jewelry from the 1940s-1980s will be entirely free of fading, discoloration, rust spots, or minor imperfections. Please understand this common characteristic of vintage pieces. 💚 We strive to present items clearly in photos. Please inspect the images and descriptions carefully. 💚 Vintage jewelry inherently carries the marks of its age and has been touched by time, thus showing signs of wear. 💚 The styles of jewelry in this shop will not be altered (e.g., clip-on earrings will not be converted to post earrings). 💚 Those new to "Vintage Jewelry" are encouraged to consider their purchase very carefully. 💚 If an item arrives damaged to the point it cannot be worn, a refund can be issued. However, returns or refunds for reasons such as "not as imagined," size discrepancies, color variations, or damage not incurred during shipping will not be accepted. __________________________________________________ **About the Brand:** Avon began its journey in 1886, initially known for its fragrances. It famously offered women the opportunity to earn income by pursuing their passions. As consultants provided cosmetics and perfumes, jewelry was first introduced as a gift with purchase in 1963. In 1970, in response to customer demand, AVON launched its own jewelry line, The Precious Pretenders. Extensive advertising campaigns in the United States propelled these decorative pieces to great popularity among women, securing AVON's place among favorite jewelry manufacturers. Collectors of vintage costume jewelry particularly favor items released in the 1970s. Notable brands that collaborated with AVON include Ungaro, Swarovski, Centennial, Trifari, and WN. In the 1990s, Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor collaborated with the company's designers on several jewelry lines bearing her name. Even today, AVON jewelry continues to delight women with its quality and accessible pricing.
