Vintage Fan Panel Necklace, Articulated Numbered Construction, mixed metals

Elegant, sculptural fan-panel collar necklace with a dramatic crescent silhouette and beautiful dimensional movement. This striking piece is composed of overlapping articulated fan segments, each formed from radiating rods finished with rounded bead tips, creating a rich architectural texture when worn. Estimated era is 1950s, or early 1960s. Style: Fan panel / collar / bib necklace • Construction: Articulated, multi-segment design • Finish: Gold-tone metal • Closure: Chain with hook clasp • Markings: Numbered fan components on reverse • Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear; all segments intact This is a refined, statement-making necklace with depth, movement, and presence — the type of well-constructed vintage design that continues to inspire modern reinterpretations, yet remains increasingly difficult to find in original form. Contemporary fashion versions of fan necklaces are available today. (These modern pieces are typically lightweight, uniformly stamped, and most definitely unnumbered.) The numbered, multi-component construction of this necklace reflects an older manufacturing mid-century approach and distinguishes it from modern fast-fashion interpretations. Don’t miss out on this gorgeous vintage beauty!!
