Featured 80's? Necklace

A while back, I saw the earrings that matched this necklace under sold listings on ebay but can't find the listing now. I think it had the word mogul in the title or description and I was surprised that it sold so high. I knew I had the necklace somewhere and today, I accidentally found it. Do you recognize it?
Approximately 22" long tip to tip and each pearl & cabochon piece is 1" long 7/8" wide. Photographs aren't great, I didn't have my lights set up. Thank you.

 

Different, pretty & interesting!!

 

I know this is NOT the same thing, but the name MOGUL brings up a lot of 1980s jewelry similar to yours so that might be the name you're looking for.

1980s? It better be! Here's other examples from same period. Not familiar with a Mogul jewelry brand but there is a Mogul-style in jewelry. Yours wouldn't be considered such.

Thank you. I should have worded my post more clearly. I didn't think the brand was mogul but just part of the description which, like you found, seemed to bring up 80's pieces. It looks like 1980's accessories are a hit right now. I wonder if the shoulder pads will make a comeback too?

 

Ohhh Gawd! ! ! I hope not

 

Screams 80s.

 

Agree, extremely 80s, and I am already seeing shoulder pads returning to the Dutch streets, so brace yourself.

Mogul is the same as Mughal, the old Indo-Persian empire. Some people will call anything with clear 'gemstones' and pearls Mogul/Mughal. It is not like the true Mughal style, of course.

The main Mughal jewellery styles in present day Pakistan and northwestern India:

Perhaps Kenneth Jay Lane? Had a Moghul line of jewellery!

 

The above shown 1980s jewelry, esp. the "cross" necklace in the center is inspired/based on the Byzantine jewelry/goldsmith works.
Starting around 1955 Coco Chanel designed Byzantine/Venetian inspired jewelry collections and continued this in the 1960s. Later other courturiers/high fasion houses such as YSL or Dior adopted the style until it trickled down in the mainstream an reached its pinnacle in the 1980s. I still think that they are great statement pieces that can still be worn today, though maybe without the shoulder pads (some things belong to oblivion).

 

Hear! ! ! Hear! ! !

 

@Any Jewelry that top necklace is truly stunning.

 

IMO the style reached its pinnacle in 1988 with Lacroix’s crosses. I thought about converting so I could wear one.

AJ OMG those first two...I’d wear em with jeans!
