This is a beautiful antique brass pendant necklace from the early 1900s, featuring an open-back faceted purple glass stone in a striking oblong shape. The pendant design showcases four small floral accents at each point of the diamond-shaped frame, crafted in warm golden brass.
The large purple glass rhinestone is bezel set, ensuring a secure hold while allowing light to pass through the open back for an elegant glow. The rope-style brass chain connects directly to the pendant with filigree end caps, and it slips comfortably over the head without a clasp.
This design reflects the Art Nouveau to early Edwardian transition, with floral motifs and curved metalwork typical of jewelry from the early 20th century.
