HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: In Europe this delicate, pink-hued glass still goes by its original name, ruby glass. This is an older name and very accurately describes the hue. Here, in North America, 'cranberry,' is more frequently used - and it is a term that perfectly describes the glass's delicate, pink color. Whichever term you settle on - Cranberry or Ruby Glass makes a perfect thing to collect and/or an ideal gift anyone - especially for couples celebrating their 40th wedding (ruby) anniversary.
JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): Add a touch of vintage charm to any outfit with this stunning Trifari necklace. The pendant features round, glowing cranberry red glass rhinestones that's sure to catch the eye. The necklace is perfect for any occasion, from everyday wear to special events such as weddings, graduations, and birthdays. Crafted in the 1960s, this necklace has a unique geometric design that's both bold and elegant. The prong setting style adds a touch of sophistication, while the vintage theme makes it a great addition to any jewelry collection. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or a subtle charm, this Trifari necklace is sure to impress.
CONDITION: Good vintage condition given the age and rarity. The chain it is currently hung on shows some wear, mainly along the area it would touch the back of a neck. Easy fix - especially if you would want to switch out chains anyway. One small area of chipping - well-hidden under a prong. One stone has some internal flaws - that can be seen, not felt at all. I believe the latter two items to both be original to the construction of the piece and are mainly visible when closely scrutinizing and actively searching for flaws. I needed 10x magnification to spot either. See last pic(s). In an overall excellent state of preservation.

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an important integral part and extension of the description.
