Carnelian Pendant Necklace

A carnelian pendant in 9ct yellow gold, set with an oval carnelian cabochon in a bezel mount and suspended from an 18 inch curb chain. The design is centred on the stone, with an ornate scalloped gold surround that gives the pendant a fuller, more decorative outline. The carnelian has a rich reddish-orange tone and a smooth polished surface that gives the piece strong colour presence. The gold frame adds warmth and texture, while the shaped border and ridged bale bring extra definition without distracting from the centre stone. It is a pendant with a clear vintage feel and an easy, confident profile. The scale is balanced, the colour is warm and direct, and the combination of carnelian and yellow gold gives it a strong decorative character that still feels straightforward to wear now.
