Neck Candy : Found : Vintage Original vs New


70's circle gold pendant necklace on mannequin

I’ve been sort of lusting over all the long pendant necklaces from my Neck Candy post and last week while perusing The Sherman Oaks Antique Mall again, I spotted this amazing gold circles necklace with little dangling plum colored stones and what could have most possibly been the inspiration behind Theodora & Callum’s Majorca Necklace retailing for $350 at Neiman’s.

Admittedly, I’ve been on-and-off thinking about its vintage predecessor which I actually spotted prior to seeing the new version online, all week. Finally, yesterday afternoon on the way home from the gallery, I stopped back in and had to go see it again . . . and made a little deal with myself …if it were under $100, I would buy it. So when the super nice salesman said it was $96, I just had to stand by my word and take it home with me.

In-store there was a bit of a debate of whether it was from the 60’s or the 80’s …but really, I think it’s somewhere in between, more like the 70’s. And for the record, I LOVE it, regardless.

* And if you’re in LA you should FOR SURE check out The Sherman Oaks Antique Mall because it’s huge and every single little nook and cranny is filled with magnificent treasures.
