Dating to the 1980s, this striking vintage necklace by D-i-o-r is beautifully crafted in rich gold-plated metal and features an elongated curb-link chain dripping with 15 wonderfully dimensional shell charms.

Each shell has been beautifully modelled with deeply ridged, textured detailing, while a sweeping row of sparkling crystal rhinestones follows the natural curve of the shell — giving just the right amount of glamorous D-i-o-r sparkle. 

The articulated charms move freely along the necklace, creating fantastic movement and a gorgeous golden jingle when worn.

The necklace is finished with its original clasp, signed “C-h-r.D-i-o-r”, and remains in immaculate vintage condition — particularly impressive considering its age!
