Scallop Seashell Matte Gold Collar Necklace

Costume jewelry featuring seashell motifs gained prominence during the Art Nouveau movement of the late 19th to early 20th centuries, inspired by nature's beauty and the exploration of marine life. This trend reached new heights in the 1950s and 1960s, driven by a fascination with beach culture and travel, symbolizing leisure and freedom. The 1980s then saw a resurgence of seashell-themed costume jewelry, reflecting the era's eclectic and bold fashion statements. This matte gold seashell necklace is most likely from the 1950s to 1960s.
