AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pendant features an elongated teardrop shape, cut from natural agate, in line with the keywords. The stone reveals subtle shades of pale blue, with internal inclusions and marbling typical of agate, visible transparently on the front face. The surface is polished, smooth and slightly shiny, showing variations characteristic of natural stone, with no artificial pattern added.

The pendant is fitted with a simple, circular, silver-colored metal ring, solidly attached to the upper end. No decoration, engraving or inscription is visible on the front face. The edge of the stone is regular, slightly rounded, and the whole has a clean look, highlighting the texture and translucency of the agate.

The dominant hue is a milky blue, softened by lighter shades and touches of grey. A few dark inclusions punctuate the surface, giving the piece a unique character, typical of natural stone slices used in vintage jewelry.

This pendant, with its sober and organic style, evokes costume jewelry creations from the 1960s to 1980s, where the emphasis was on highlighting mineral materials and natural forms. Its timeless design adapts equally well to a fine chain or a cord, for use as a necklace or bag pendant.

The visible face has no signature or additional ornamentation. The overall condition is good, with slight signs of use consistent with an antique piece of jewelry, with no chips or apparent cracks on the stone when viewed from the front.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Shows some discreet traces related to age and use, visible on the polished surface of the stone. Ring in good condition, with no noticeable deformation.

Did you know? Agate is a variety of quartz highly prized in jewelry for its rich colors and natural patterns. Each slice of agate offers a unique design, formed by successive mineral deposits over millennia. This type of pendant was particularly popular in costume jewelry from the 60s to 80s, showcasing raw or minimally worked stone.
