Vintage Carved Chalcedony Dragon Medallion and 35 similar items

UP FOR SALE: This striking vintage medallion features a deeply hand-carved chalcedony stone depicting a stylized mythical, dragon-like creature rendered in dynamic, flowing relief. The stone displays rich amber, cognac, and smoky brown tones with excellent translucency and dramatic natural color variation, giving the carving exceptional depth and presence. The creature?s form is more boldly defined, with a pronounced head, curling body, and strong negative space that emphasizes movement and power. The carving shows confident hand work, with softened edges and layered relief consistent with traditional stone carving rather than modern machine production. The stone is set within an ornate silver-tone mount decorated with raised floral and geometric detailing. Multiple perimeter loops are integrated into the frame, indicating this piece was intended as a necklace centerpiece or ceremonial-style adornment, rather than a simple single-bail pendant. The construction gives the medallion substantial visual weight and versatility for wear or display. The chalcedony is free of cracks or structural damage and shows only light surface wear consistent with age. The mount retains an attractive aged patina, with all loops intact and secure. Overall condition is strong, with excellent visual impact. A compelling vintage carved stone medallion that bridges jewelry and artifact, appealing to collectors of chalcedony carvings, mythical or dragon imagery, and bold statement pieces with old-world character.
