Vintage Danforth Pewter Nature-Themed Charm Necklace

This is a whimsical 1990s-era charm necklace produced by Danforth Pewter. The necklace features a long, continuous strand of mixed earth-tone stone beads, likely Jasper or Agate, exhibiting a palette of sage green, terracotta, cream, and mustard yellow. Suspended from the center of the beaded strand are eleven distinct charms cast in fine pewter, showing the brand's characteristic matte, slightly burnished finish. The central focal point is a circular sun with a celestial face, flanked by charms representing diverse motifs: a leaping frog, a dragonfly, a blooming flower, a hand with a heart cutout, a watering can, a butterfly, a bird house, and a garden fork. A small black bird accent is integrated further up the side of the strand. The construction utilizes silver-tone metal jump rings to attach the charms to the beaded wire. Typically of Danforth items from this period, the reverse side of the larger charms may bear the 'Danforth' or 'DP' stamp alongside a year. Overall, the piece appears in excellent vintage condition with a light, even patina on the pewter surfaces, no visible missing beads, and a secure functional clasp. The folk-art style and botanical themes are emblematic of the high-quality Vermont craftsmanship associated with the Danforth family name.
