Vintage green teardrop pendant sparkling rhinestone retro elegant costume jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This costume pendant features a very elegant teardrop shape, typical of retro jewelry. On the visible side, the central element is a large emerald green faceted stone, pear-cut and highlighted by a gold-finished setting. Surrounding this stone is a regular halo of transparent round rhinestones, themselves carefully set, providing a marked brilliance and a sparkling effect under the light.

The flared and ribbed bail allows the pendant to be easily attached to a chain or necklace. The overall piece presents a refined style, with a combination of golden, deep green, and crystalline hues, reminiscent of costume jewelry creations from the 1950s to 1970s. No logo or brand is visible on the photographed side.

The setting work, clearly visible in the photo, gives this piece of jewelry a precious look despite its costume nature. The crisp facets of the central stone create plays of light and highlight the intense color. The rhinestone halo adds a very luminous effect, accentuating the contrast with the colorful center.

The visible surface shows no major apparent defects: no chips or noticeable scratches on the central stone or peripheral rhinestones. The overall appearance is brilliant, with a smooth and clean gold-finished setting. The piece is presented on a yellow cushion that is not included in the sale.

This pendant is in the tradition of vintage costume jewelry, ideal for accessorizing an elegant outfit or adding a retro touch to a modern look. It can also be suitable for use at evenings or events requiring a sophisticated note.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side is in good overall condition, with no visible defects in the photo.

Did you know? Costume jewelry adorned with colored rhinestones saw a particular boom in the 1950s-1970s, thanks to the rise of industrial glass and crystal cutting techniques. Brightly colored stones, often mounted on gilded metal, made it possible to imitate high jewelry at a lower cost, making luxurious styles accessible to the widest audience.
