14K Gold Malachite Carved Face Pendant Brooch with Seed Pearls & Emerald Station Chain | Private Collection

This extraordinary mid-century convertible pendant brooch is crafted in 14K yellow gold, featuring a striking hand-carved malachite face cameo with dramatic natural banding. Encircling the malachite is a delicate halo of genuine seed pearls, framed by twisted rope detail and graceful filigree scrollwork.

Suspended from a 14K gold station chain adorned with polished natural emerald beads (tested and verified), this piece offers exceptional versatility — the pendant can be worn independently as a brooch or showcased as the centerpiece of the necklace. The overall weight of 18.95 grams gives the piece both presence and intrinsic value, while the meticulous craftsmanship reflects the artistry of mid-20th-century fine jewelry design.
