Vintage gold plated pendant retro chic rose ancient triangle motif

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pendant features a softened triangular shape with rounded and slightly irregular contours, giving it a distinct retro look. The visible surface has a matte gold finish, consistent with the "gold plated" description in the keywords. At its center, the main decorative element is an oval medallion adorned with a painted or printed rose motif in shades of pink and green on a light background, surrounded by a fine gold rim. The overall effect evokes a romantic style typical of costume jewelry from the mid to late 20th century.

The pendant has an integrated circular bail, allowing for easy suspension on a chain or cord. The bail has a finish that matches the rest of the piece, with the same gold color. The surface shows slight signs of oxidation and some wear, particularly visible on the raised areas and edges, enhancing its antique and authentic character.

The central rose, rendered in a delicate style, recalls floral cameos and romantic jewelry popular in retro women's accessories. The contrast between the matte gilding of the base and the subtle brilliance of the floral medallion adds dimension and highlights the painted motif.

The entire object is photographed on a yellow velvet cushion, which is not included in the sale but enhances the warm hue of the pendant. No markings or signatures are visible on the front. The back, any hallmarks, or clasps are not visible and will therefore not be commented on here.

This pendant is a piece of costume jewelry that will fit perfectly into a retro chic style, ideal for adorning a delicate chain or a vintage necklace. Its soft geometric shape and floral motif make it a versatile piece that can be paired with various looks, from everyday to special occasions.

Did you know? Pendants adorned with hand-painted or printed floral motifs were very popular in costume jewelry from the 1950s to the 1970s, often inspired by Victorian romantic aesthetics. The "gold plated" style allowed for elegant jewelry to be offered at an affordable price, while imitating the appearance of solid gold pieces.
