Art Deco Blue Chalcedony & Rock Crystal Egg Pendant

561R
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty egg shaped pendant that was made in the 1920s in Germany. It is blue chalcedony with a faceted rock crystal section in between. It has a silver mount and ring. The tradition of giving eggs dates back to the 15th century and by the 1890s wealthy families would give each other precious miniature eggs every year. Eggs could be decorated with symbols of the season, family professions, or love tokens. It can be worn as a pendant on its own or with other eggs on a fine silver chain.
