Vintage rose quartz pendant gold setting old charm jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pendant features a free-form cut rose quartz stone, with a soft, translucent hue, characteristic of this mineral prized in costume and semi-precious jewelry. The stone, massive and polished in appearance, offers a play of transparency with visible natural inclusions, typical of rose quartz.

The upper part of the pendant is set in a gold-finished mounting, adorned with openwork geometric patterns. The bail, also gold-colored, allows for easy wearing on a chain or cord. The ensemble displays a vintage aesthetic, probably inspired by the Art Deco style or the first half of the 20th century, although the precise period cannot be confirmed without further evidence.

The visible surface of the stone is smooth, with some slight natural irregularities and internal reflections characteristic of quartz. The mounting shows a subtle patina, indicating a certain age and giving the piece the authentic charm of an old costume jewel.

No marks, signatures, or inscriptions are visible on the presented side. The object is photographed in natural light, which brings out the delicacy of the pale pink hue and the brilliance of the gilded metal.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some traces of wear and oxidation on the gilded mounting are visible, with no major apparent defects on the stone's visible side.
