Vendome Carnelian Lapis Stone Mosaic Inlay Hemp Leaf Gold-tone Pendant Necklace






Vendome Carnelian Lapis Stone Mosaic Inlay Hemp Leaf Gold-tone Pendant Necklace
Materials and Features:
Archival "White Whale" Rarity: A rare departure for the Vendome brand, which traditionally specialized in crystal clusters. This 1960's "Boutique-Tier" design represents a limited venture into stone-inlay work and counterculture themes, making it a high-priority "Archival Survivor" for collectors.
Artisanal Multi-Stone Mosaic Inlay: A high-impact teardrop pendant featuring a hand-set mosaic of deep carnelian-red and lapis-blue stone fragments. The vivid, high-contrast palette is characteristic of Vendome’s late-1960's "Modern Art" series.
High-Relief Hemp Leaf Motif: A substantial gold-tone hemp leaf centerpiece with a textured "stippled" finish and precision die-struck veining. This motif captures a sophisticated Socialite-meets-Counterculture aesthetic.
High-Luxe Double-Link Chain: A substantial, heavy-gauge gold-plated chain (0.125” thick). The 25g "heft" and fluid mechanical articulation represent the premium manufacturing peak of Coro’s elite subsidiary.
