Description

This vintage pendant features a wavy heart shape, immediately recognizable by its soft, asymmetrical curves. The smooth surface highlights concentric patterns typical of malachite, with deep green hues alternating with lighter veins, creating a natural and elegant visual effect. The top of the pendant is pierced with a golden metal ring, allowing it to be hung on a chain or cord, perfectly integrated into the whole.

The visible side reveals a polished finish, which accentuates the mineral luster and brilliance of the stone. The circular patterns, natural to malachite, reinforce the authenticity of the material, in accordance with the keywords mentioned. The shape of the pendant, both organic and stylized, fits into a retro or vintage style, highly sought after in costume jewelry from past decades.

The intense green color, typical of malachite, is emphasized by reflections and tonal variations that give depth to the piece. The overall appearance evokes a piece of jewelry from the 70s or 80s, a period when natural stones and free forms were particularly appreciated in costume jewelry.

The golden suspension ring subtly contrasts with the green of the stone, while remaining understated so as not to distract attention from the main material. No markings, signatures, or hallmarks are visible on the presented side.

This pendant stands out for its sculptural shape and strong visual presence, ideal for complementing an outfit or being worn as a central piece on a simple necklace. This is a pre-owned piece, sold as is.

Condition

Pre-owned item, sold as is. The visible surface shows no major apparent defects, but slight traces of use or micro-scratches may remain, typical of antique jewelry.

Did you know? Malachite is an ornamental stone used since antiquity, particularly in Egypt and Russia, for making jewelry and decorative objects. Its characteristic green color is due to its high copper content, and each piece of malachite offers unique patterns, naturally formed during crystallization.
