Dramatic mid-century Peruvian statement necklace featuring a 20 inch figural fetish necklace with a stunning filigree pendant inlaid with chrysocolla accents. This vintage piece is marked 925 on the last fetish next to the barrel closure; there is an additional mark on the pendant back which I believe is also 925, although it's hard to make out.
