VINTAGE 1970's GOLD-PLATED STERLING SILVER PENDANT NECKLACE

This striking vintage necklace dates back to the 1970s and features a bold geometric pendant crafted from sterling silver (925) with a high-quality Amerikaner gold overlay — a traditional European gold-plating technique known for its durability and rich tone.

The pendant showcases an elongated, faceted quartz gemstone in a soft smoky-rose hue, set within a textured, architectural frame. The deliberately raw surface and strong lines reflect the modernist studio jewelry aesthetic of the era, where design and form took precedence over ornamentation.

The necklace is completed with its original gold-plated sterling silver chain, secured by a classic spring ring clasp, both clearly stamped 925 and marked with the maker’s stamp FBM.

A timeless statement piece with character — elegant yet unconventional — perfect for those drawn to authentic vintage design.
