Vintage Gold-Tone Filigree Tassel Pendant Necklace

This is a vintage statement necklace featuring a large, elaborate pendant suspended from a gold-tone curb chain. The pendant's head is a trapezoidal gold-tone frame featuring intricate openwork scroll or filigree designs, centered with an embossed oval medallion. Below this framework, a cascading multi-strand fringe or tassel is attached. This fringe consists of five distinct swagged layers: three alternating tiers of gold-tone curb link chains and two tiers of faux-pearl beaded stations. A singular, larger tear-drop shaped faux pearl is suspended from the center of the filigree header to provide a focal point. Based on the construction and design, this piece is likely costume jewelry from the 1960s or 1970s, reflecting the popular 'Middle Eastern' or 'Bohemian' influences of the era. The finish is a bright yellow gold-tone plating over a base metal. The condition appears fair to good; there is some visible dulling and light surface scratches on the larger central pearl, and minor wear to the plating on the chain links, which is expected for jewelry of this age. No designer markings or hallmarks are immediately visible on the front or the visible portions of the bail, though it exhibits the substantial weight and complex construction characteristic of mid-century fashion houses like Trifari or Monet.
