A beautiful expression of vintage Swarovski artistry, this signed SAL pearl necklace brings together luminous ivory faux pearls, delicate pastel crystals, and a sculptural gold-tone floral pendant in a design that is both elegant and distinctly collectible.
The continuous strand features creamy, individually knotted faux pearls, each measuring approximately 8 mm in diameter. Designed without a clasp, the necklace slips comfortably over the head, allowing the floral pendant to become the centerpiece.
The substantial gold-tone pendant features a dimensional, openwork floral design with beautifully textured petals and an arrangement of faceted Swarovski crystals in soft pink, blue, and champagne tones. The contrasting shapes and delicate colors create a lovely balance of light, texture, and vintage sophistication.
Permanently attached to the pearl strand, the pendant is signed SAL on the reverse, identifying it with Swarovski America Ltd., a designation associated with the company’s earlier jewelry collections.
Dating to approximately the 1970s–1980s, this necklace reflects the distinctive design aesthetic of its period, when statement jewelry combined romantic details with bold, sculptural forms.
Whether styled for an elegant occasion or added to a thoughtfully curated vintage jewelry collection, this necklace offers enduring beauty and recognizable Swarovski craftsmanship.
