Its bold rectangular silhouette features soft, curving edges—a refined interplay of geometry and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart glows a spectacular large, oval-cut green spinel, secured in an ornate prong setting. Multi-faceted and deeply saturated, it dances with shifting tones of forest green, teal, and night-sky blue as it catches the light. Spinel—an ancient gemstone historically prized for its brilliance and durability—is far rarer than often believed, long mistaken for sapphire in royal jewels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurrounding the centre spinel is a raised inner border of tiny clear rhinestones in fine flush settings, creating a subtle halo of shimmer. Beyond it lies a second sculptural frame embellished with embossed floral motifs and hand-engraved detail, lending romantic softness and textural depth to the bold Deco architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorth, south, east, and west of the focal spinel are decorative hinge-style bars—mechanical accents echoing the sleek industrial inspiration of the era. The openwork construction along the sides allows light to pass through, illuminating the green spinel dramatically from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspended from a later .925 sterling silver chain, this piece is beautifully wearable—powerful, poetic, and undeniably unique. A striking gender-neutral statement pendant that sits like armour for the modern romantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements : The pendant measures 3.4cm x 2.5cm excluding the bail.The spinel gemstone measures 2cm x 1.3cm.The chain with a length of 48cm.The pendant and chain with a combined weight of 21.5grams.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Expedition With Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50617724731698,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/2110\/1106\/files\/20251105-154113.jpg?v=1762829248","url":"https:\/\/expeditionwithjones.com\/products\/a-magnificent-step-back-into-the-golden-age-of-glamour-this-rare-and-generous-art-deco-pendant-is-a-true-showpiece-richly-detailed-architecturally-sculpted-and-brimming-with-old-world-mystique","provider":"Expedition With Jones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
