835 silver Aquarius zodiac pendant

This pendant represents Aquarius, the eleventh astrological sign in the zodiac, symbolized by the water bearer. Zodiac pendants in 835 silver became particularly popular in Scandinavia and Central Europe during the mid-20th century, often crafted by skilled silversmiths as personal talismans or gifts. The 835 silver standard was commonly used in these regions as an alternative to sterling silver, indicating 83.5% silver content. Zodiac jewelry appeals to collectors of vintage silver, astrology enthusiasts, and those interested in mid-century Scandinavian design. These pieces are valued for their craftsmanship, historical significance, and personal connection to astrological symbolism. Collectors particularly appreciate examples with clear maker's marks and well-preserved details, as they represent both the artistry of European silversmiths and the enduring fascination with celestial symbolism in personal adornment.
