Vintage Native American Style Copper Concho Necklace

This item is a vintage-style statement necklace featuring a prominent oval concho pendant suspended from a long, elongated paperclip link chain. The entire piece appears to be crafted from copper or a copper-toned base metal with a dark oxidized patina used to highlight the decorative stamping. The central pendant measures approximately 2 to 3 inches in height and 1.5 to 2 inches in width. It showcases a classic sunburst or repoussé-style motif with a domed center, surrounded by radiating lines and a decorative scalloped edge with fine stamped texture. The chain consists of oversized, rectangular flat links characteristic of mid-20th-century costume jewelry. While it reflects Southwestern motifs, the construction suggests it may be a mass-produced piece from the mid-to-late 20th century rather than a contemporary artisan-made item. The condition shows moderate surface wear and deepening of the patina in recessed areas, which adds character but may obscure original maker stamps on the reverse side. The craftsmanship is solid for its era, featuring a secure attachment point where the chain meets the pendant.
