Vintage Faux Pearl Heart Pendant Necklace

This jewelry piece consists of a cream-colored faux pearl strand necklace featuring a large, open-work heart pendant. The pendant is intricately constructed with multiple rows of small, spherical simulated pearls arranged in a three-dimensional pave style around a central heart-shaped void. The necklace strand utilizes slightly larger uniform faux pearls, likely made of glass or plastic with a pearlescent coating, displaying a warm, yellowish-ivory luster. A gold-toned metal bail connects the pendant to the strand, suggesting a costume jewelry construction common in the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The surface of the pearls appears relatively smooth, though some minor surface wear and loss of nacre/coating are typical for this age and material. There are no immediately visible maker's marks or signatures on the frontal view, but the craftsmanship shows a decorative, mass-market fashion aesthetic. The overall condition appears fair to good, with some potential yellowing of the string or adhesive used in the pendant construction over time.
