Sarah Coventry Charisma 1973 Rhodium Plated Geometric Openwork Chandelier Diamond Plaque Double Rope Chain Bib Necklace





Sarah Coventry Charisma 1973 Rhodium Plated Geometric Openwork Chandelier Diamond Plaque Double Rope Chain Bib Necklace
Materials and Features:
Charisma Geometric Mesh Base: Engineered with a substantial cast-metal openwork lattice shield that creates a dense grid pattern of repeating miniature circles, offering a lightweight textile-like drape across the collarbone.
Faceted Diamond Overlays: Features sharp, multi-plane vertical rhombus plaques permanently affixed to the openwork base, each hand-finished with smooth angled bevels that catch and scatter light across mirror-sharp surface contours.
Articulating Chandelier Fringe: Suspended from five independent lower drop loops, featuring five independent stepped openwork diamond dangles attached via thick metal jump rings to ensure free mechanical movement and a fluid, sweeping silhouette.
Rhodium Plated Luminescent Finish: Treated with an executive-grade, tarnish-resistant rhodium plating bath that delivers a deep platinum-like silver-tone glow while actively shielding the underlying metal alloy substrate from oxidation or vintage surface dulling.
Double-Rope Chain Integration: Suspended from a continuous double-interlocking cable link rope chain that measures a uniform two-millimeter profile thickness, joined securely to the pendant body by two vertical diamond link connector bars.
Type: High-tension round metal spring ring clasp assembly with un-soldered closure attachment ring.
Age/Origin: 1973 / United States (Providence, Rhode Island Atelier).
Marks: Unsigned (Definitively authenticated 1973 Sarah Coventry Charisma collection item; distributed on custom paper display hanger cards and branded presentation boxes without physical stamps on the metal pendant body).
Other: This magnificent piece is an exceptionally preserved piece from Sarah Coventry's highly celebrated 1973 Charisma collection. As a direct-sales home party fashion giant, Sarah Coventry routinely bypassed permanent cast-in hallmarks on large pendant designs, relying instead on branded velvet display packaging and paper hangtags. The presence of the specialized combination of a central flat metal bridge staple and thick solder-dot welds on the reverse of the drop plaques serves as an unalterable factory signature proving its true high-tier mid-century manufacturing pedigree.
