When I showed this gold-tone mosaic 1970s style pendant to my sis (which I ended up thrifting for 50 percent off), she told me it reminded her of the ugly necklaces and pendants our Mom used to wear in the 1970s when we were growing up.
Gee, I always loved those necklaces. And this one does remind me of them, too. I can see why my sis called them/it ugly - they're not beautiful, after all. Perhaps it's just the sentimental nut in me that makes me gravitate towards pieces like this. This one reminds me of my childhood and suits my 70s-ish style, so it's a definite keeper.
This is the only pic I have of my Mom wearing one of those 'ugly' 1970s necklaces - with me (right), my twin and older sis in the mid-1970s. Don't you just love my Mom's style? I remember this necklace lovingly! You can't see it that well, but it was a string of multi-coloured polished stones in earthy hues. I loved it then. I should ask Mom if she hung onto it.
Dig the crazy glasses, eh? I think those were more 1960s than '70s, though. My twin sis and I look like mini versions of Mom, with our turtlenecks and pants! And our older sis, so cheeky in her mini skirt and colour-coordinated tights and - you guessed it - another turtleneck!
