Vintage Articulated Wire and Bead Dreamcatcher Pendant

This item is a decorative pendant featuring a design inspired by dreamcatchers, constructed from a combination of silver-toned base metal wire and amber-colored glass bugle beads. The top portion consists of a circular frame wrapped with a tight, coiled spring-like wire, with a radial sunburst pattern of fine copper-colored thread or wire filling the center. Attached to the bottom of this circle is an articulated horizontal bar, also wrapped in coiled wire, from which several dangling strands are suspended using jump rings. These dangles are composed of elongated amber glass beads and end in pointed metal leaf or feather-shaped charms. The overall construction appears to be machine-made or mass-produced assembly from the late 20th century, likely the 1970s or 1980s, reflecting the popular 'Boho' or southwestern styles of that era. The condition shows visible oxidation on the silver-toned wire, particularly on the horizontal bar, and a thick patina of dust indicates long-term storage or lack of cleaning. The beads appear intact with no visible cracks, and the thread-work in the center shows minor fraying. No maker's mark or metal purity stamps are visible on the front of the piece, suggesting it is costume jewelry rather than fine jewelry.
