Collector's Notes:
Vintage 1970s Kalevala Koru Finnish Ancient Style Gold Metal Dangle Necklace; marked "Made in Finland" on back.
Kalevala Koru was founded in the 1930s by Elsa Heporauta, a writer who was inspired by a 19th Century compilation of regional epic poems called Kalevala. This design reflects the company's early desire to produce jewelry inspired by Finnish history and culture.
Fun fact: Star Wars' Princess Leia wore a Kalevala necklace with her iconic white gown, though that necklace looks much different than this ancient-inspired design.
Condition: Very Good - Excellent
Expected wear for age; minor wear to metal.
Size: 16 3/4" total length; 3 1/2" pendant length; 1 3/4" pendant width; 26" total chain length.
