Description from the seller

Swedish minimalism in its most elegant form – Alton silver teardrop pendant with chain - 1960s-1980s

This refined silver pendant with matching chain is crafted by the Swedish silversmith Alton, a name synonymous with sleek Scandinavian design and high-quality silverwork.

The pendant features a slender, organic teardrop shape, an iconic motif within Scandinavian modernism. The flowing lines and high-gloss finish create a subtly reflective surface that captures light in an elegant way.

This design radiates calm, balance, and refinement — precisely the qualities that are highly sought after again today.

Pairing with the fine silver snake chain completes the look and makes it immediately wearable, perfectly suited to both minimalist and more classical styles.

The pendant bears clear Swedish hallmarks, including the Alton maker’s mark and 925 silver hallmark, confirming authenticity and quality.

A timeless vintage piece that effortlessly complements today’s Scandinavian design aesthetic.

Dimensions:

Chain length: 42 cm
Pendant: 32 mm long x 5 mm wide

Weight: 8.5 g

I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
