Mauboussin Paris Vintage 18K Gold Swinging diamond Heart Pendant
A rare and enchanting creation by Mauboussin Paris Vintage, this 1950s pendant is masterfully crafted in 18K yellow gold and features a charming puffy heart that gently swings to reveal a secret — a hidden heart fully pavé-set with sparkling diamonds.
Ingeniously designed, the pendant can be worn “closed”, showcasing the golden puffy heart, or “open”, revealing the glittering diamond heart beneath. Even the bale is articulated, allowing the pendant to slightly move, keeping with the poetic theme of love in motion.
Signed and numbered Mauboussin Paris, this jewel embodies the romantic creativity and refined craftsmanship of mid-century French jewelry. A sweet and rare treasure, it makes an exceptionally special gift, perfect for celebrating love and new beginnings at year’s end.
