$2850
Virgo Zodiac Pendant and Chain by Swiss Designer Gilbert Albert. The 800 silver 3" ( with bale) x 2" round medallion with attached bale made up a freeform frame encircling a stylized Virgo Zodiac symbol. Including a similar freeform 29.5" chain. Gilbert Albert , winner of 10 Diamonds International Awards, Designer for both Patek Phillip and Omega workshops , and International presence throughout his life with his own boutiques, make him arguably one of the foremost jewelers of the last half of the 20th century. This substantial piece ( 87grams) is a wonderful alternative to more expensive Zodiac pendants that are all the rage. Easy to wear , and for versatility the 29.5 "long chain can be doubled or worn on its own. The pendant can also worn on a ribbon, neckwire or leather cord. We often like to mix textures and colors too. So even try it on a gold omega choker to change it up. Great for travel, impressive enough for Zoom. A cool , interesting and practical piece. Signed on Back of pendant and chain. Gilbert Albert with makers mark and 800 ( for silver) .
