RARE St. John Vintage Black Heart Cross Statement Necklace 22k Gold Plated

This exquisite and highly collectible vintage St. John necklace features a dramatic heart-shaped cross pendant on a strand of faceted black beads. Beautifully substantial in weight and presence, it feels luxurious and important — not a lightweight trinket, but a truly statement piece designed to stand out. The pendant and metal details are richly 22k gold-plated, finished with St. John’s signature high-karat coating that was a hallmark of the brand’s craftsmanship in this era. This premium gold plating gives the necklace its deep, warm luster and timeless elegance, while the striking heart motifs and bold black accents create a sophisticated, dramatic look that elevates any outfit from classic blazers to evening gowns. Please note: the photo showing the necklace on a model was created using AI to help you visualize how the piece looks when worn. That image is for styling reference only — for the actual piece, please refer to the rest of the photos The necklace comes in a black box, which is original to the piece. The box does not have a St. John logo — the brand occasionally used unmarked boxes for their jewelry. Please look carefully at the pictures for condition and size. I recommend laying a similar piece of clothing flat and mirroring the measurement layout for a sure fit. Most orders ship the following business day.
