Vintage United Nations Souvenir Pendant

 

This cool pendant is an example of "souvenir" jewelry, meaning a person would purchase this piece as a rememberance of their trip somewhere.  I am not sure how old this pendant is, but my guess is that it is from the 1970s or 1980s.  Another name for this type of item is "organizational" jewelry.  This pin's raised silver image is encased in thick clear plastic and mounted on a solid goldtone setting. 

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.ebay.com/ is coming soon.
