AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Antique vintage-style pendant, presented here on a white textile stand. This piece is distinguished by a faceted teardrop design, combined with a sinuous setting evoking a twisted ribbon or an infinity motif. The center of the pendant is adorned with a large, pale yellow to champagne-colored faceted element, offering multiple luminous reflections on its surface. The visible setting, with its silver metallic appearance, is entirely set with sparkling, clear round rhinestones on the front, creating a brilliant and sophisticated effect.

The perimeter of the pendant is highlighted by a double row of individually set rhinestones, some of which show slight variations in hue. The overall effect enhances the transparency of the central crystal and the brilliance of the setting. The bail, rounded and integrated into the design, allows attachment to a thin chain (not visible in the photo).

This jewel displays a retro aesthetic, typical of 20th-century costume jewelry, with an emphasis on light and brilliance. The piece is suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions, thanks to its elegant and timeless allure. No logo, signature, or brand is visible on the photographed side.

The surface shows a smooth and shiny finish, with some localized traces of wear or oxidation on some rhinestones, mainly visible on the left side of the pendant. The central stone does not show any apparent chipping on the visible side.

The contrast between the pale yellow crystal and the silver brilliance of the setting accentuates the refined aspect of this pendant, both classic and luminous. The piece is positioned in a case or box with a gold rim, suggesting a careful presentation.

Condition

Second-hand item, sold as is. Some visible traces of wear on some rhinestones, the central stone is in good apparent condition on the exposed side.

Did you know? Teardrop-shaped pendants, very popular from the 1920s and then in the retro period, are often used for their ability to capture and reflect light, highlighting the wearer at parties or important events. Rhinestones, invented in the 18th century, are traditionally used in costume jewelry to imitate the brilliance of diamonds at a lower cost.
