{"product_id":"pendentif-en-or-jaune-18k-avec-saphir-synthetique","title":"18k Yellow Gold Pendant with Synthetic Sapphire","description":"\u003ch2 data-oe-version=\"1.2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18K Gold Pendant with Orange Synthetic Sapphire – Retro Style, circa 1950-1970\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pendant is an \u003cstrong\u003e18-carat yellow gold\u003c\/strong\u003e piece, \u003cstrong\u003eround and domed\u003c\/strong\u003e in shape, featuring \u003cstrong\u003eornamental engraving\u003c\/strong\u003e on its surface. The decoration is divided into two concentric zones: an outer ring finely guilloché with a \u003cstrong\u003eraised chevron\u003c\/strong\u003e pattern, and a central disc adorned with \u003cstrong\u003efloral and geometric\u003c\/strong\u003e motifs engraved into the gold, with a slight satin effect. The center of the pendant is set with an \u003cstrong\u003eorange synthetic sapphire\u003c\/strong\u003e, round faceted cut, imitating the appearance of a citrine. The stone is bezel-set, slightly raised, with a twisted gold wire border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece of jewelry can be dated to the \u003cstrong\u003e1950s to 1970s\u003c\/strong\u003e, a period during which round and engraved jewelry was very popular. The ornamental style and the mechanical or engine-turned engraving technique clearly evoke post-\u003cstrong\u003eWorld War II\u003c\/strong\u003e jewelry production, particularly in Southern European countries (France, Italy, Spain). The use of a \u003cstrong\u003esynthetic sapphire\u003c\/strong\u003e, common at that time, allowed for colorful and luxurious jewelry to be offered at a more accessible cost, during a period of economic recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pendant embodies an \u003cstrong\u003eornamental retro style\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterized by \u003cstrong\u003efull volumes\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eengraved ornamentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a very \u003cstrong\u003edecorative aesthetic\u003c\/strong\u003e. The stylized floral motifs and play of textures are typical of the taste of the \u003cstrong\u003e50s to 70s\u003c\/strong\u003e, which combines \u003cstrong\u003eclassical inspiration\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003edesire for modernity\u003c\/strong\u003e. The overall piece has a warm and sunny character, reinforced by the combination of \u003cstrong\u003ebright yellow gold\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eorange synthetic sapphire\u003c\/strong\u003e, evoking the Mediterranean and artisanal influence in jewelry of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marchand de Bijoux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57646351155531,"sku":"A.4031.01733-5","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/3663\/4955\/files\/15817466937675-4ac0a2a857a7bd6d6844a9df5096fa7607e90c0b.jpg?v=1782136590","url":"https:\/\/marchand-de-bijoux.com\/en\/products\/pendentif-en-or-jaune-18k-avec-saphir-synthetique","provider":"Marchand de Bijoux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
