The Empress’s Jade Guardians: Vintage Floral Heritage Pendants (Antique 835 Silver) – A Rare 1970s/80s Discovery

Price: € 395,- per piece (Includes S925 Silver Chain)

The Story Behind the Jewel A masterclass in 20th-century floral design. These two matching pendants from the private vault of Mia Verbeeck feature deep, forest-green Natural Jade cabochons set in an intricate Antique 835 Silver frame. Unlike modern reproductions, these pieces date back to the 1970s and 1980s, a period where craftsmanship and organic motifs reigned supreme. Preserved for decades as "New Old Stock," they represent the sophisticated elegance that defined the Empress’s collection during the peak of the Antwerp jewelry trade.

Double Guarantee of Authenticity

• Heritage Certificate: Accompanied by the official Babiche Bijoux Heritage Certificate, documenting its direct lineage from the private estate and historic archives of Mia Verbeeck.
• Vintage Hallmarked Quality: Each pendant is physically stamped with the 835 Silver mark, a hallmark of authentic vintage European silver. This guarantees the piece’s age and material purity, as recorded in the original Verbeeck vault inventory.

From the Empress’s Notebook Mia Verbeeck had a profound appreciation for Jade, often associating it with renewal and protection. Her archival notes from the 1980s state: "Jade is the stone of the heart's endurance. These twin pendants carry the spirit of the forest—strong, timeless, and full of life. They are meant to be worn by those who value the deep roots of history and the peace that nature provides."
