    Description

    I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world.  Some examples seen in the last photo - thanks for stopping by!
    ABOUT:
    Dainty and sweet Georgian closed back drop pendant in 14k gold with foiled center old cut rock crystal / quartz, 7 pearls and 3 old flat cut garnets.  I love the way the leaf tendrils curl down towards the floral circular pearl and diamond flower head.  It is such a beautiful, delicate design.  The foiled rock crystal has a warm almost champagne hue and garnets are a very deep, dark crimson accent.
    HALLMARKS:
    The bale is stamped 10k but the body of the pendant is 14k so the bale is a replacement.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    A little over an inch to the top of the loop by almost half inch wide.
    CONDITION NOTES:
    All my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition.  This little beauty is still nicely shaped and presents just beautifully. Under magnification only I can see what looks like a hairline crack to the top garnet, along with a few small nicks to the edges of the garnet and the facets of the quartz.  None of this is visible to the eye as the stones are very small.   Surface wear and scratches to the gold commensurate with age. The stones are all secure.  A spot of discoloration to the gold here or there by the top leaf for example but you would want to see signs of age and wear to verify the authenticity of this Georgian piece. There is an impression on the back bottom of the gold or perhaps it was some sort of hallmark.   Not visible when wearing of course but wanted to mention everything I could see.  It wears beautifully.  But due to age – this is not a mint condition item.
    Thanks so much for looking at my items!
