AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage heart-shaped pendant, presented on its original card marked "PLAQUE OR" (GOLD PLATED), is a retro piece of jewelry from old stock. The visible side of the pendant reveals a domed heart motif with soft contours and a smooth, shiny surface. The finish has a luminous golden appearance, typical of gold-plated jewelry from the second half of the 20th century. The pendant is equipped with an integrated round bail, allowing easy attachment to a chain or thin cord.

The pendant is distinguished by its warm reflections, oscillating between yellow gold and slight coppery nuances depending on the light. The edges are regular, with no apparent engraved decoration on the visible side. The backing card shows some signs of wear and handling, attesting to the age of the stock but also confirming that the item has never been worn. No specific logo or brand is visible on the face of the pendant or the card, apart from the inscription "PLAQUE OR" printed in the upper left corner.

The original card presentation reinforces the vintage and authentic character of this retro piece of jewelry. The overall style, sober and timeless, evokes the classic creations of French jewelers from the 1970s to the 1990s, highlighting the heart motif which was very popular at that time. The bail appears perfectly functional, with no visible signs of deformation or defect.

This gold-plated heart pendant is ideal for everyday wear or to complete a retro jewelry set. It can also be suitable as a symbolic gift for a birthday, Valentine's Day, or a significant event.

Condition

Old, never-worn, pre-owned item, sold as is. Slight signs of wear on the original card, shiny and uniform appearance of the pendant on the visible side. No deep scratches or apparent chips on the visible surface.

Did you know? Gold plating involves depositing a thin layer of gold onto a metal base by electrolysis. This technique, developed in the 19th century, makes it possible to achieve the luxurious appearance of gold while remaining affordable. The heart motif remains a great classic of French jewelry, a universally recognized symbol of love and affection.
