Art Deco Sterling Silver Marcasite Mother of Pearl Chandelier Brooch Pendant

Description

This vintage Art Deco / Victorian Revival sterling silver marcasite chandelier pendant necklace is a true statement piece. The large, openwork open-back frame features romantic open scrolling filigree densely pave-set with dozens of glittering, metallic-gray marcasite stones, all centered by a prominent, smooth triangular mother-of-pearl cabochon with a beautiful milky iridescence. Adding dramatic movement, five articulated dangles sway elegantly from the bottom, each capped with a sparkling, faceted pear-cut clear crystal teardrop stone. Designed with incredible versatility, the reverse features a full brooch pin mechanism and a removable bail latch, allowing it to seamlessly convert from a stunning brooch to a dramatic pendant. It suspends from a fluid triple-strand fine link chain anchored by decorative marcasite-encrusted slider nodes and is secured with a standard spring-ring clasp. Marked with a 925TH maker's hallmark cartouche on the back, this heirloom-quality treasure showcases the dark, romantic elegance of classic Edwardian and gothic jewelry, making it perfect for vintage collectors and evening wear.
