A lovely old European silver pendant dating from the early 20th C. The design is very Art Nouveau meets Art Deco with its organic silver twists and bows against the strong sharp lines of the rectangular stone. A stunning foil backed red paste stone. 
We are in love with the vivid red colour of this stone, a really superb example of the quality of paste
from this time. A beautiful and eye catching piece.
