In my 10 years of selling, I've only been able to find the original ad for an item of selling twice. One was for a Bali-Bo bra, which had an extended run, so it wasn't even an exact match (sadly the link is dead). And once for a Sears Girdle - and it wasn't even an ad, it was the catalog listing (which made it very easy to write the description).
So I was thrilled to find the original ad for this crazy Avon pendant.
From a 1974 Avon Catalog. I encourage you to check out the catalog (links at the bottom). I had no idea that Avon made such cool jewlery. For example:
Stars!
And this one is my favorite:

That is SO cool! I don't care what anyone says, I love vintage avon!
I had that star necklace! My mom bought me a fair amount of Avon jewelry when I was a kid. I don't have any of it anymore, but I did manage to find a mood ring from Avon. Rather, I should say, she did! It was weird because she got it right about the time I had mentioned to someone else how nostalgic I was for mood rings.
LOVE the necklace you found. I've been searching things like this for months, actually--not Avon, but modernist looking stuff.
Now go find me that weird birthstone tear drop necklace I had. I think it was Avon, but it might have been Sarah Coventry.
