This vintage necklace features a bold modernist design with a geometric malachite pendant suspended from a long 14k gold chain. The chain is stamped 14k and measures 39 3/4 inches in length, allowing the pendant to be worn as a dramatic statement piece. The pendant itself is crafted in 10k gold (acid tested) and measures 4 inches long including the bale by 1 3/4 inches wide.
The pendant design reflects the 1970s modernist jewelry movement, with a rectangular open gold frame showcasing a striking malachite teardrop. The malachite drop is capped in gold and hangs from an angular, step-like connector element that emphasizes the architectural aesthetic of the era. A square malachite accent sits at the top of the pendant, uniting the geometric design.
Weighing 34.5 grams, this necklace captures the bold yet minimalist spirit of 1970s–1980s jewelry, where natural stones like malachite were highlighted within clean-lined gold settings. Its sculptural form makes it both a collectible vintage piece and a versatile accessory for contemporary wear.
