1940s-50s Citation Jet Black Glass Lily Pendant on Gold Heart-Linked Chain

Vintage signed Citation Night Garden pendant necklace, circa late 1940s–1950s. A teardrop of glossy black glass frames a dimensional gold floral spray, trumpet-lily blossoms in fine repoussé relief, suspended from a fluted, fan-capped bale on the original pierced gold heart-link chain. A romantic piece, classic Citation.

Era: Circa late 1940s–1950s Mid Century, Victorian revival. The tell-tale markers: molded black glass ("French jet"), an applied dimensional gold floral motif rather than a flat stamped one, and the pierced heart-link chain: all hallmarks of Citation's mid-century output. Citation typically used gold-filled and gold-plated mounts in this window, which fits.

Patina note: One of one. Carrying the soft patina that only time can give; significant flaws are always detailed. Small indent on back side, see photo.
