Description
9 karat yellow gold pendant featuring a bezel-set oval shell cameo, which appears to be sardonyx shell, depicting a classical female profile carved in white relief against a tan ground. The cameo is set within a heavy, textured frame with a foliate or nugget-style finish, accented by four flared, polished ribbon-like elements. The piece is suspended from a circular gold bale. The reverse of the pendant is struck with a series of British hallmarks including a crown gold standard mark, the fineness mark 375, a leopard’s head for the London Assay Office, and a date letter. This pendant is designed in the antique Victorian style and is hallmarked 375, possibly dating to circa 1860. 2.3grams 2cm long 1,5 cm wide.
Condition report:
The pendant is in good overall condition with light surface wear and minor scratches to the gold consistent with age. The shell cameo is intact with no visible cracks or chips.
