Vintage spiraled pendant, shiny rhinestones, silver-plated, elegant retro jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This pendant features an elongated, spiral shape, evoking a twisted cone. The main surface has a silver, slightly textured appearance, while sinuous stripes are adorned with sparkling rhinestones, skillfully arranged in a dense pave setting on part of the pendant. The rhinestones reflect bright, multicolored light, enhancing the precious jewel effect and catching the eye.

The pendant's silhouette is slender and elegant, with a pointed tip and increasing volume from top to base. The lower part is entirely covered with rhinestones, while the upper part reveals the metallic finish. The whole piece is crafted in a retro style, with fluid lines and an elegant alternation between adorned and smooth areas.

The object is presented on a light background, in a gold baroque-inspired frame, which highlights its reflections and details. No markings or signatures are visible on the presented side. The overall design is typical of vintage costume jewelry, sought after for its sparkle and timeless sophistication.

The rhinestones are meticulously set, their dominant color being transparent white with iridescent reflections. The overall appearance of the pendant recalls creations from the 1970s to 1980s, where the combination of shiny metal effect and rhinestone pave was particularly popular in costume jewelry.

No bail or attachment is visible in the photo, suggesting that the element for hanging the pendant is on a side not shown here. The piece is designed to be worn as a pendant, but its sculptural design could also serve as a decorative element on a chain, a necklace, or even as a fashion accessory.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. The visible surface shows a beautiful shine, with no major apparent chips. Some slight signs of wear or micro-scratches may be observed on the metallic finish, without significant impact on the overall appearance. All rhinestones appear to be present and well-secured on the visible side.

Did you know? Costume jewelry set with rhinestones experienced a particular boom in the second half of the 20th century, thanks to pave techniques that allowed for imitating the brilliance of diamonds at a lower cost. Rhinestones, invented in the 18th century by Georg Friedrich Strass, are now made from cut glass or crystal to maximize light reflection.
