Heirloom Art Deco German Sterling & Camphor Glass Pendant

The Story

A rare and exquisite survivor of the Art Deco era (c. 1920–1935), this pendant represents the pinnacle of German jewelry craftsmanship from the period. It features a luminous, hand-finished camphor glass centerpiece—frosted to achieve its signature "frozen" glow—set within an intricate Sterling Silver framework.

The centerpiece is adorned with a classic starburst motif, meticulously hand-set with genuine marcasite stones that provide a subtle, sophisticated sparkle. Unlike modern reproductions, the reverse of this pendant bears the prestigious "GERMANY" and "STERLING" hallmarks, certifying its origin and precious metal content.
