Vintage Valerie Thomas 18K Gold, Argentium, Malachite & Diamond Pendant

Stunning Vintage Valerie Thomas 18K Gold, Argentium, Malachite & Diamond Pendant. Hand-fabricated by artist Valerie Thomas, who works in Argentium sterling with accents of 18k gold, every piece built by hand. A forged silver body sweeps forward into a hollow gold beak studded with granulated beads, ending in a single bezel-set diamond. Behind it, a raw slab of banded malachite fans out like a tail, its natural contour left to determine the shape of the whole piece. Signed on the reverse: V. Thomas / 18K / 935S. Has a beautiful presence on a chain or cord, worn with nothing else, but also works in a stack. A true one-of-a-kind treasure. SIZE: One size. MATERIALS: Argentium sterling silver (935), 18k yellow gold, natural banded malachite, bezel-set round brilliant diamond ERA: Estimated 2000s.
