Description
This elegant vintage sterling silver carnelian pendant features a beautifully polished oval carnelian cabochon, complemented by a smaller round carnelian accent above. Both stones are securely bezel-set within a decorative silver framework, finished with subtle scroll detailing and a drop finial.
Carnelian, a vibrant red variety of chalcedony, has been cherished for centuries for its warm glow and symbolic associations with vitality, confidence, and creativity. When set in silver, it creates a striking contrast that has remained popular across multiple jewellery eras.
The pendant is crafted in solid sterling silver (925) and displays characteristics typical of artisan-made vintage jewellery, likely produced during the 1970s–1990s. The flowing silverwork reflects influences from Victorian revival and Arts & Crafts–inspired designs, which were particularly fashionable during this period.
Presented in very good vintage condition, the pendant shows a gentle natural patina to the silver and no visible damage to the stones. It wears beautifully on a fine or medium-weight silver chain and works equally well as an everyday statement piece or a more dressed-up accessory.
A timeless and versatile pendant, ideal for collectors of vintage jewellery or those drawn to meaningful natural gemstones.
