Vintage 50s style square pendant, gold-tone metal, retro heart design

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pendant features a square shape and a golden visual finish reminiscent of metal, in line with the keywords. The visible side is adorned with an embossed design composed of four stylized heart-shaped motifs, symmetrically arranged around a central embossed pearl. Each corner of the square is highlighted by a spherical motif, accentuating the ornamental and vintage aspect of the whole. The circular and solid attachment ring is integral to the pendant in a style typical of 1950s costume jewelry.

The surface of the pendant shows a homogeneous patina, typical of deadstock or unworn antique items, and reveals some nuances of slight oxidation, reinforcing the authenticity of the piece. The slightly satin gold appearance highlights the reliefs of the central motif and emphasizes the quality of the finish. No marking or inscription is visible on the photographed side. The whole testifies to careful molding work, with clear and regular details.

The compact structure and square geometry give this pendant a retro style, inspired by 1950s costume jewelry, where symbolic shapes like the heart were frequently used. The solid bail allows for a secure suspension on a chain, cord, or ribbon, adapting to different wearing styles.

This piece of jewelry is presented on a wooden background, which allows appreciating its golden hue and the depth of its reliefs. No chips, deformation, or major defects are visible on the front face. The slightly shiny finish accentuates the decorative dimension and the vintage spirit of the piece.

Condition
