A grand and sculptural statement piece of vintage silversmithing, this substantial medallion pendant is cast in solid silver with deep contrast antique oxidation. The architectural openwork framework features a monumental basket gallery with sweeping scrolled brackets, milgrain-textured ribs, and openwork palmette crests flanking the upper and lower borders. Held securely by wide double-band prongs is a massive, faceted oval gemstone of natural smoky quartz (or smoky topaz crystal) radiating rich golden-tea to deep clove-brown transparency, brilliant scissor-cut facet reflections, and exceptional depth. Suspended by a polished bail loop from a solid silver curb link chain, the piece makes an imposing mid-century statement.
