This pendant is adorned with an oval cabochon-cut chrysoprase, displaying a soft, slightly translucent apple-green color, characteristic of this variety of chalcedony. The stone is polished into a dome to highlight its luminous hue and homogeneous appearance.

The gemstone is set in a silver mounting, formed by two smooth, slightly domed lateral shoulders that frame the stone and emphasize its oval shape. The simple and balanced structure highlights the fresh color of the chrysoprase while creating an elegant contrast with the subtle gleam of the metal.

The bail, simple and integrated as an extension of the mounting, allows the pendant to be suspended from a chain.

With its minimalist design and rounded lines, this piece of jewelry evokes modernist creations from the mid-20th century, circa the 1950s–1970s, a period during which colored fine stones, often cabochon-cut, were frequently showcased in simple, sculptural settings.

Chrysoprase, a variety of chalcedony colored by traces of nickel, is prized in jewelry for its luminous green hue, sometimes reminiscent of jade, and was widely used in 20th-century European jewelry.
