As a piece that is close to 65 years old so there is some darkening of the gold tone, mostly on the clasp, it is in good condition for it’s age but it is an old piece and that’s vintage.

In the 1950’s there was a huge fascination with Asia particularly China and Japan which were called the Orient and all things “Oriental” were popular so you’ll find a lot of mid-century jewelry with an Asian theme. The word “orient” means East.
