Rare Diane Von Fürstenberg Glass Pearl with Faceted Lucite Oval Orb on Lariat Style Necklace

Amazing Vintage Diane Von Fürstenberg Lariat / Sautoir Style Necklace
Beautiful Glass Pearls with Lemon or Jonquil color Lucite orbs stationed along the necklace, from the 1970's
Faulous New Old Stock, New metal cartouche tag.
the companion piece shown in the photos for reference has the original paper hang tag,
we know this was offered in the following colors....Pink, yellow, peach, green and blue because the original tag tells us.


This necklace is actually 48 inches from end to end,
actual practical wearable length would be around 38 inches
The crystal Lucite Orbs are 5/8 inches long
The Pearls are beautiful, nice weight and almost a lemonish color
and be sure look to see how beautifully sparkling the orbs are are, they look like crystal,
but are a very high quality Lucite, DVF only used the highest quality materials.
I have styled it long and to look shorter for the photos,
it can be shortened by knotting the silk cord in back or adding knots to the length of the cord.
This makes it very adaptable and could even be doubled up for a different look.
I have also styled this with a Sautoir style tassle necklace to show how great this companion piece would look,
each necklace is sold separately, see both listings for details.
Ask me for styling tips.
This was apparently part of a collection as I also got some round orbs on chain as well,
I have included a photo of those in this listing, this listing is only for the Lemon Lucite and Pearl Lariat Necklace
the other photos are for reference.

I have searched all over to compare this set or try to determine if there were any other pieces,
I can't find any available so it was probably relatively limited production.

These pieces of DVF are from a Wholesale Boutique I bought in Atlanta,
I believe the owner kept these because they were Samples.
Many were on original velvet boards and the tags have the original wholesale prices and descriptions of what colors were available.
I purchased a large approximately 100 piece collection of DVF, this is one of the first I will be listing..
I also was able to purchase about 60 pieces of Valentino, around 60 pieces of Lanvin, some YSL
and assorted 1970's-80's designers, All New Old Stock as well with original tags.
