Vintage 18K Gold Pomellato Frosted Heart Pendant Necklace
By Pomellato
Located in Venice, CA
This 18k gold and glass heart radiates with a warm amber hue. Both gold and glass are acid etched, which gives them a matte finish that is luminous and beautiful. The heart is held in an untraditional off-center mount, with an oversized bail, that allows the pendant to hang off to the side for a unique and sophisticated look. The heart is translucent, and when held in the light, it glows.
Since 1967, Pomellato has been on the cutting edge of fashion-forward jewelry. Founded in Milan by Pino Rabolini, Pomellato jewelry is known for being avant garde, colorful, and impeccably crafted. It revolutionized women’s jewelry and is described as embodying modern yet unconventional beauty.
The heart-shaped pendant measures approximately 1 1/4” across and 1” tall, not including the bail. The bail measures approximately 9/16” x 7/16”. The bail is wide enough to fit a variety of chains, so there are many possibilities for how this pendant could be worn. It looks fantastic on an omega chain, clipped into a dog clasp...

Vintage Pendant Necklaces
Whether you’re layering multiple jewelry pieces or opting for a single strand, vintage pendant necklaces are versatile accessories that can elevate your casual wear as easily as they can add a creative flourish to your formal attire.
The earliest jewelry was less about accessorizing than it was about wearers arming themselves with amulets. In Ancient Egypt, some amulets featured a loop so that they could be strung around one’s neck. While rubies have long been one of the few gemstones that can give diamonds a run for their money, members of some ancient civilizations valued the stones from the get-go, donning ruby pendants as well as other stones with the belief that these adornments would bring protection, healing powers or strength. Today, we still wear our charm bracelets and charm pendants around our necks for good luck.
Later, pendant necklaces, like most fine jewelry, were worn strictly by royalty or the upper class and conferred wealth and prestige. This changed over time, thankfully, as wearing jewelry became more widespread, a democratized means of personal expression.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, pendant necklaces evolved from their status as spiritual amulets, but the jewels still carried deep personal significance. Victorian pendants, in particular, were part of the “mourning jewelry” tradition. Wearers would embed their pendants with locks of hair from a deceased loved one as a way of grieving in the wake of a loss. In the case of cameo jewelry, some pendants were even decorated with miniature hand-carved portraits in a detailed raised relief. Today, portraiture is still a characteristic of many of the hand-carved pendant necklaces offered by Italian jewelry house Scala Gioielli.
Luxury fine jewelry brands such as Cartier, BVLGARI and David Yurman offer their own unique interpretations of the cherished accessory, embellishing platinum or gold pendant necklaces with diamonds, sapphires and other stones.
On 1stDibs, find an extraordinary range of vintage pendant necklaces and other necklaces today.
