This listing is for an item from Seller's personal collection, which encompasses a lifetime's joy discovering unusual, sometimes quite rare, items. Specifically, this listing is:

This vintage religious pendant necklace features a dual-sided, reversible design dedicated to Catholic devotional imagery. One side depicts the Sacred Heart of Jesus set within a gold-tone scalloped frame accented with deep red rhinestones, while the reverse side highlights the Immaculate Heart of Mary surrounded by light aqua blue rhinestones and iridescent mother-of-pearl square cabochons. Intended as a devotional piece worn for personal faith, protection, and prayer, the pendant measures approximately 1.25 inches across and hangs on a 18-inch fine link chain with a standard spring-ring clasp. Mid-century religious costume jewelry like this was widely produced throughout the 1950s to 1970s, primarily by specialized Catholic specialty manufacturers in the United States (such as Creed or Catamore) and Italy. Constructed from durable gold-tone base metal, glass rhinestones, shell inlay, and resin/glass portrait covers, this piece stands out for its clever spinner-style double devotion—allowing the wearer to showcase either Sacred Heart representation depending on preference.

This would be a great addition to a personal collection, for decorative display, or other use.

The item is in very good to excellent condition for its age, with any noteworthy condition observations listed below. Please note many details are in the Item Specifics section, which eBay requires. Funky lighting and coloration visible in images are a result of scanning or photography -- Seller is not a professional!

Condition Notes: See photos. Pre-owned in very good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear to the gold-tone finish and minor micro-scratches on the clear cabochon covers. All original rhinestones and mother-of-pearl (mop) shell inserts are intact and secure. The spring-ring clasp functions properly.
