1890s French Teardrop Citrine Marcasite Pendant Necklace

This pendant necklace hails from France, dating back to the 1890s. Crafted entirely from sterling silver, it is adorned with citrine and marcasite. The accompanying silver chain is the original piece. The pendant itself takes the form of a teardrop-shaped citrine. Its multifaceted cut and evenly spaced prongs enhance the rich, golden hue of the citrine, lending it a sleek and modern appeal. The bail at the top features a rounded silhouette, enclosing sparkling silver-grey marcasite, a popular diamond alternative in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. The silver chain, attached to the pendant, features links of varying sizes. This detail, combined with the elegantly designed pendant, creates a harmonious and complete piece. It's an item that can be effortlessly styled while also offering intriguing details to appreciate. The piece is in good antique condition, showing normal signs of oxidation and wear consistent with its age. It is a century-old antique, not a new item.
