Earl Pardon: The Cocktail Party

Earl Pardon, modernist jewelry artist, created a series of 'people' pendants, circa 1970's and 1980's, and this is one from that period. The oval pendant, 1-5/8' x 1-3/8", is a frieze of intriguing figures in pairs, with coral beads at top. The 14K handmade wire necklace is 16-1/2" long. Pardon hallmark tag near clasp.
