Vintage 1950s metal pendant, round textured shape, retro jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pendant, presented here, stands out with a circular openwork shape at the center, topped by an integrated bail allowing it to be hung on a chain or cord. The whole features a metallic-looking surface, consistent with the "metal" keyword, with a matte finish and a textured relief evoking intertwined or braided patterns. This irregular, deliberately marked decor gives the piece a raw and authentic aesthetic, typical of 1950s costume jewelry creations.

The dominant color is a bronze tone or patinated gray, emphasizing the vintage and retro effect of the object. The reliefs are clearly visible on the exposed side, with traces of wear or patina that accentuate its antique character. It is a piece of jewelry, designed to be worn as a sautoir necklace, necklace, or decorative accessory, with a bail wide enough to accommodate different types of attachments.

The visible side shows no inscription, logo, or apparent mark. The braided pattern, embossed over the entire front surface, is typical of the ornamental trends of the 1950s, favoring material effects and texture play. The object is photographed flat, on a wooden background, which allows a full appreciation of the structure and details of the decor.

The pendant is clearly from old stock ("deadstock"), meaning it has never been worn, although it shows a patina related to its age or storage. Its metal construction (according to the keywords) gives it a solidity and visual weight characteristic of costume jewelry of that era.

This retro jewel will be perfect to complete a vintage outfit, or as a personalization element on a necklace, chain, or even a leather cord for a more contemporary style.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The surface shows a visible patina, with slight original and/or storage-related marks or irregularities. No chips or cracks are visible on the displayed side.

Did you know? 1950s costume jewelry is often characterized by the use of embossed textures and geometric or braided patterns, in a post-war spirit where ornamentation regained its place in fashion, while remaining accessible through the use of non-precious materials.
