Sexy 70s necklace by Avon


OMG, I still have more pretty spring decorating to show you but I can't go without showing you more bling! I am like a junkie: I need my fix! Just look at the sturdy pendant with turq 'stone' (plastic) on this Avon necklace pendant.



Take a peep at the back. I love well-made sturdiness and weight in costume jewellery. It tells me it's old-ish.


The coolest feature: you can wear it the semi ho-hum way, with the chain doubled.


Or you can sex it up and wear it comme ca. J'adore this look. I really should be wearing some glammed up disco outfit set for partying, but such is not my life.

  2. I like the way you can switch up the look with this pendant, also like the colour of the 'stone'! Avon made such great items back in the day, I have fond memories of ordering items from the catalog twice a year when I was a kid.

  5. Six Balloons, thanks! I love the multi-functionality of the piece!

    The Thriftaholic - I always wanted to order from Avon when I was a kid but never could! I am really starting to like vintage Avon pieces. Some of them are quite collectible, I hear.

    Nelly you are right: I hear Liz Taylor and other stars designed Avon pieces. Betcha the Taylor ones have doubled in value since her death.

    fashion jewelry, thanks! Not sure if I'm a dreamer but with respect to jewellery I def am an addict and one who appreciates beauty!
