1960s Turquoise Strawberry Pendant

1960s Turquoise Strawberry PendantCharming vintage strawberry pendant dating from the mid 20th century, around 1960. Similar spherical pendants known as Sputniks were more common in the 1960s, but this one's rather more unusual. A 585 stamp on the bail tells us it's 14 carat gold, and likely European. The seeds are little turquoise glass cabochons. Era: Vintage, circa 1960 Size: 2. 7cm (including bail) by 1. 5cm Stones: Turquoise paste Marks: Stamped 585 for 14ct gold, ST maker's mark
