Vintage Nolan Miller Enamel Cross Pendant Necklace, 8‑Strand Pastel Glass Bead Torsade, Gold Tone Signed

This striking vintage Nolan Miller necklace dates from the late 1980s to early 1990s and features an ornate enamel and rhinestone cross pendant suspended from an eight‑strand pastel glass bead torsade. The faceted beads shimmer in soft hues of blue, topaz, light pink, and amethyst, creating a luminous, braided effect that highlights the richness of the pendant.
The gold‑tone cross is finished with burgundy‑maroon enamel, deep blue and light amethyst rhinestones, and clear pavé accents for a dramatic, collectible look. The back of the pendant is signed Nolan Miller.
Very good vintage condition. Light wear to the gold‑tone finish at the back on the two metal elements that gather the strands on each side of the pendant —normal and unobtrusive for age. Enamel and stones are bright and intact; lobster clasp functions properly.
