Vintage round gold-tone metal pendant, 1950s retro relief motif old jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An antique round pendant, made of apparent gold-plated metal, typical of the 1950s retro style. The visible side features an embossed decoration composed of multiple dots and circular motifs, arranged around a central floral motif in relief. The piece displays a patinated finish, with shades ranging from matte gold to darker metal, accentuating the object's vintage character.

The decoration is structured in several concentric circles, some adorned with raised dots, others smooth, reminiscent of post-war costume jewelry. A thick suspension ring, molded from the same material as the pendant, is securely attached to the upper part, allowing the object to be worn on a chain or cord.

The surface shows irregularities and slight wear, with small marks and variations in shine, characteristic of old unworn jewelry (deadstock) that has nevertheless endured through the decades. No text, logo, or signature is visible on the photographed side.

The entire pendant has an artisanal appearance, with a pronounced relief and a granular texture on certain elements. The golden reflections are enhanced by the light, highlighting the relief structure of the decoration.

This piece of jewelry is part of the tradition of vintage accessories, blending stylized floral inspiration and simple geometry, a hallmark of mid-20th century costume creations. It is perfectly suited for use as a sautoir, necklace, or unique pendant, for a distinct retro touch.
