<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 3226002, member: 51"]The first one, I would just say "stamped Chr. Dior 1965 Germany". The fact that it was made in Germany and the design suggests mid 60's. People will recognize the 1965 stamp, so be sure to put that in your title. If you can somehow show the clasp and the pendant at the same time in your first photo I think that would be good. The fancy clasp is another selling point. You can describe as "green and blue glass cabochons". As for the goldtone necklace part, maybe someone else could come up with a term. Rope? Mesh? Rope-mesh necklace? Here is a Dior one with similar cabochons:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Christian-Dior-Mesh-Bracelet-Signed-1965-Goldtone-Green-Cabochons-Germany-/254794949369?hash=item3b52f662f9%3Ag%3AC6kAAOSwIFBfxfH3&nma=true&si=piLalgRVBIj2ZJ8ckKSkdV2TATk%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Christian-Dior-Mesh-Bracelet-Signed-1965-Goldtone-Green-Cabochons-Germany-/254794949369?hash=item3b52f662f9%3Ag%3AC6kAAOSwIFBfxfH3&nma=true&si=piLalgRVBIj2ZJ8ckKSkdV2TATk%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Christian-Dior-Mesh-Bracelet-Signed-1965-Goldtone-Green-Cabochons-Germany-/254794949369?hash=item3b52f662f9:g:C6kAAOSwIFBfxfH3&nma=true&si=piLalgRVBIj2ZJ8ckKSkdV2TATk%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I think #2 is newer than #1, but not sure you need to date these with precision.
