Vintage Resin Apple Pendant Necklace | Red 3D Fruit Charm Black Ball Chain | 80s 90s Kawaii Teacher Gift | Retro Novelty Jewelry Gift Idea
$24.24
đ Vintage lovers and fruit fans, youâll adore this quirky red apple necklace!
The pendant is a solid resin apple complete with a glossy red body, dark brown stem and a green leaf accent.
Suspended from a long black bead (ball) chain, it brings back the playful novelty jewellery of the late 1980s and early 1990s when bold plastic charms and kawaii motifs were all the rage.
Unlike delicate fine jewellery, this piece is a fun pop of colour you can wear to brighten up a casual outfit or add a touch of whimsy to a retro look.
đ Why apples for teachers? â The apple has been associated with teachers since at least the 1700s in Denmark and Sweden, when families paid poorly funded educators with baskets of apples and other produce in lieu of cash wages. In the United States the tradition continued in the 19th century as apples were a symbol of health and knowledge; by the 1920s âapple polishingâ became slang for trying to win a teacherâs favour. Today the bright red apple remains a charming token of appreciation, especially as a gift around backâtoâschool time or teacher appreciation week.
The pendant on this necklace is handâcast from resin. It is not signed, but the style and materials suggest an independent maker or small factory circa the 1980sâ1990s rather than a modern massâproduced piece.
The bead chain is unmarked metal finished in glossy black; it fastens with a ballâchain connector so you can adjust the length slightly or swap the chain for a cord of your choice.
đ Dimensions â The apple pendant measures about 1â
 inches tall (â2.9 cm) and roughly 1 inch in diameter (â2.5 cm). The chain is approximately 26½ inches long (â67.3 cm), so the charm hangs at midâchest level; you can shorten it by snipping between the beads if you prefer a higher placement.
âď¸ Condition â This necklace is in excellent vintage condition with very light wear from age. The resin apple has a slight surface texture typical of handâpoured resin pieces, and there are no cracks or chips. The chain shows minimal finish loss and the clasp works properly. Itâs ready to wear or give as a gift.
Give this cheerful apple to your favourite teacher, student or anyone who loves apples and cute jewellery. Itâs also perfect for autumn outfits, teacher appreciation gifts, or as a nostalgic accent for fans of 80s and 90s pop culture.
