Vintage Asian Carnelian Buddha Pendant | 1930s–50s | Sterling Silver Bezel

A rare and evocative vintage pendant featuring a finely hand-carved carnelian Buddha, set in a handcrafted sterling silver with prongs and leaf prongs. The warm, translucent orange stone showcases natural variation and veining consistent with authentic carnelian, and the serene expression of the Buddha reflects traditional East Asian artistry. Believed to have originated from the 1930s to 1950s, this piece was likely part of a Chinese export collection designed for Western markets. The figure features two discreet side-drilled holes, suggesting it was originally a bead or element in a ceremonial strand, later expertly converted into a pendant. The bezel is marked “SILVER,” typical of early to mid-20th century Asian export work (most commonly Chinese). The pendant has a graceful and timeless aesthetic — a spiritual and cultural statement suitable for both collectors and everyday wear. Measurements: Approx. 1" tall x 5/8" wide x 2/8" deep (not including the bail) Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with no chips or cracks in the stone. #VintageJewelry #BuddhaPendant #CarnelianStone #AsianJewelry #SterlingSilver #SpiritualStyle #ChineseExport #VintageFinds #CuratedVintage
