Charming antique pendant from Transylvania, made of delicate gold-plated silver (tested and guaranteed).

The diamond-shaped pendant is sculptured and richly decorated with floral ornaments, which are set in a distinctive rhythm with facetted red-violet almandines and cabochon-cut turquoise. The raised centre of the pendant is also decorated with a fine natural pearl with a pale grey lustre.
The lower end of the pendant is formed by three freely movable suspensions, which are also set with stones; the movable eyelet is also decorated with turquoise and an almandine. On the silver and backside there are ornamental engravings which extend over the entire piece of jewellery.

This rare historical pendant was made around 1890 in Transylvania and is a typical and endearing example of the craftsmanship of the rural jewellery art from this region.
This wonderful gem can be excellently combined with traditional costume and Dirndl.
