Vintage Australian 9ct Crimson Leaf Pendant by Lustre

A burst of crimson suspended in gold.

Created by Melbourne jeweller LUSTRE during the 1950s, this elegant pendant captures the colourful optimism of post-war jewellery design. A richly coloured crimson stone sits within a frame of engraved golden leaves, creating a design that feels both feminine and distinctly mid-century.

The elongated silhouette draws the eye, while the vivid red stone provides a beautiful contrast against warm 9 carat gold. Whether catching the afternoon sun or glowing softly in evening light, the pendant brings colour, warmth and vintage charm to the wearer.

Stamped LUSTRE and 9CT, it remains a lovely example of Australian jewellery from an era when pieces were designed to brighten everyday life.

Refinery & Bloom Notes

We were drawn to the vivid colour and graceful leaf motif of this piece. The combination of warm gold and glowing crimson creates a pendant that feels effortlessly elegant more than seventy years after it was first made.
