The visible surface has a gilded metallic finish, with six raised cabochons symmetrically arranged on the front. The pendant displays an irregular, deliberately rough texture, reminiscent of the post-war artisanal aesthetic, which was very popular in jewelry of that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cross is fitted with a large circular ring, also gilded, allowing for easy suspension on a chain or thick cord. This detail accentuates the decorative nature of the piece and highlights its use as a central pendant for a necklace or sautoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dominant color is a warm gold, with luminous reflections on the spherical reliefs. The edges are clean but slightly irregular, reinforcing the vintage effect and the feel of handmade or small-batch production. No figurative motifs or inscriptions are visible on the front; the decoration relies entirely on the interplay of volumes and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of this jewel evokes the costume creations of the mid-20th century, a period when simple shapes and geometric patterns were particularly appreciated. This pendant fits into a retro trend that values the singularity and strong character of old fashion accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is ideal for wearing as a centerpiece on a necklace, or as a decorative element attached to a chain or ribbon. Its strong visual presence also makes it a relevant choice for enhancing an interior, placed on a stand or integrated into a decorative composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
