    Description

    I am selling a collection of antique chatelaine and jewelry items as seen in the last photo so please see my other offerings and check back!
    ABOUT:
    Awesome old and beautiful Georgian / Biedermeier period pendant or fob from the 1800s in 10k Rose Gold.    The piece is sort of 3D in form with the blue and white enamel oval applied on top of the front with a gold flower design.
    Antique piece that I acquired in Europe, I think it was an earring in its former life. It is not hallmarked (it was probably hallmarked on the earring hook which is missing) but tested at 10k.
    There is a dark outline to the right of the circle that did clean up, I was able to scrape some away with my fingernail but couldn't get back to the gold being in that little ledge.  Considering age it looks great, but you can see the dark spots I am talking about in the photo.
    Excellent old craftsmanship - This piece is really lovely, with crisp detail and nice shine and design. Vibrant blue enamel with delicate natural pearl.
    Chain not included.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    It measures about 1 1/8 inch tall by 5/8 of an inch wide at the widest part of the shield.
    CONDITION NOTES:
    In estate condition considering age.  Some discoloration around the center enamel oval. I don't see any chips or loss to the enamel.  Beautiful bloom to the gold fill where it presents rosy in some areas from natural patina. It has a small loop / may need a jump ring, just message me if you'd like me to include.
    Due to age, please note this is not a mint condition item.
    Still many years left in this old beauty from an interesting period in history.
    I dearly love, collect, use and sell antiques so please check out my other listings and thanks so much for stopping by my store!
