Vintage round golden metal relief pendant 50s retro old jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pendant features a round shape with a gilded metallic finish. The visible side is adorned with an embossed motif, composed of a central design resembling a stylized flower or a shell, surrounded by a succession of small embossed beads along the entire circumference. The bail is integrated as an extension of the motif and ends with two small lateral cabochons, reinforcing the decorative aspect typical of the 1950s retro style.

The pendant displays a patina that accentuates its vintage appearance, with an alternation of matte and shiny areas. The reliefs are well-defined, offering a play of light characteristic of costume jewelry from that era. The surface shows some micro-scratches and signs of wear, consistent with prolonged deadstock storage, but without altering the integrity of the design.

To the naked eye, no hallmarks or marks are visible on the front. The bail is wide, allowing for a chain or cord of good thickness. The entire piece evokes the costume jewelry creations of the 1950s, with a strong retro style and likely artisanal or semi-industrial manufacturing, typical of the productions of that period.

The embossed floral design, combined with the gilded finish, makes it a versatile decorative piece of jewelry, easy to pair with various vintage or contemporary clothing styles. The item is photographed on an old wooden background, accentuating its retro and authentic character.

Condition

Did you know? 1950s costume jewelry is distinguished by the use of embossed motifs and gilded finishes, often made of molded or stamped metal. This period marked the rise of accessible jewelry, mass-produced but with a particular attention to detail, to meet the growing demand for original adornments after the war.
