Vintage 1970s Signed Alan Articulated Lion Pendant Chain Necklace
Vintage Signed Alan Articulated Lion Pendant Chain Necklace | 1970s Gold Tone Figural Jewelry | Animal Jewelry Lover Gift
A fun vintage lion pendant necklace from the 1970s, signed Alan, with the bold sculptural presence that defines the era’s best animal jewelry. The pendant features a deeply textured mane, expressive face, and an articulated lower body that moves gently when worn, giving the lion a lively, dimensional quality.
The gold‑tone finish combines both shiny and textured surfaces, adding depth and contrast to the design. The pendant hangs from a chunky chain that complements the scale and personality of the piece, finished with a secure spring‑ring clasp.
This necklace is in very good vintage condition, with minimal finish loss visible on the back of the pendant — not noticeable when worn and consistent with age. A rare and character‑rich piece for collectors of vintage animal jewelry or anyone who loves strong 1970s statement design.
