This authentic 1920s–1930s pendant masterfully pairs the dramatic geometry of the Machine Age with a strikingly rare, raw gemstone accent. Crafted from dense, completely opaque black glass, a highly sought-after, scarce alternative to traditional clear or frosted camphor glass, the piece features a glossy, obsidian-like face that contrasts beautifully against its reverse side, which showcases a deeply molded starburst pattern texture.
Suspended inside a solid sterling silver frame featuring intricate, crisp geometric filigree design, the crown jewel of this piece is its center setting. While most era-specific pendants feature standard mass-market faceted chips, this piece boasts a genuine, uncut raw diamond macle. Formed by natural twinned crystallization deep underground, this unique specimen exhibits a rare, tabular "flat plate" morphology. This untouched, organic texture breaks entirely away from human faceting, beautifully complementing the stark, polished lines of the Art Deco setting.
Perfect for the discerning antique collector, gothic jewelry lover, or anyone seeking a piece of history that completely breaks the mold.
