This 1950 Art Deco style pendant displays a large emerald-cut smoky topaz gemstone centrally mounted within an ornate silver frame. The geometric metalwork features a scrollwork bail and paste accent clusters set with clear stones above and below the main brown stone, complemented by a fine silver chain. Additional visual details visible in the piece include faceted stone surfaces, openwork wire detailing, and prong settings holding the individual jewels. Measuring 52 cm high, 49.5 cm wide, and 2.5 cm deep, this necklace functions as an eye-catching statement jewellery piece for evening wear or special occasions. Large loops at the top also permit alternative suspension on ribbons or wide chains to suit various outfits.

Art Deco jewellery, originating in the 1920s and 1930s, is defined by geometric shapes, clean lines, symmetry, and bold contrast through mixed gemstones and metallic settings.

These pendants typically combine faceted quartz or topaz crystals with sterling silver or platinum mounts, often accented with marcasite, paste, or small diamonds.

Authentic pieces usually feature geometric step cuts, intricate filigree or millgrain detailing on the reverse, and period hallmark stamps on the chain or mount.

Large gemstone pendants function well as focal points when worn against simple, neutral garments or high-neck collars to highlight the cut and silver setting.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and mild soap solution, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can damage gemstone facets or strip intentional oxidisation from silver detailing.
