Vintage Continental 14k Gold Enamel Lavalier Pendant with Seed Pearls
About the Item
This vintage lavalier pendant is an incredibly special piece that will be in your collection and certainly become an heirloom. It features an ornate architectural volute motif, crafted from solid 14k gold with blue enamel work and seed pearls. I love the star detail at the upper teardrop— it lends a sort of celestial, magical feeling to the piece. This pendant was made in Greece in 1946, and very much feels influenced by the style of famous Greek jeweler Ilias Lalaounis, who is known for his work with gold + blue enamel. It's such a one-of-a-kind piece, and would make a lovely gift. The bale is a good size and will accomodate almost any chain. I have 14k gold chains available (16" or 18"); they are sold separately but if you would like one, please contact me.
Measures about 2" long x 7/8" at widest point.

- RARE VICTORIAN VULCANITE GRAPE CHOKER NECKLACE ca. 1860Located in New York, NYThis piece is so special and so rare: it dates to the Victorian era, more specifically the 1860s, and was likely made in Britain. It is crafted from vulcanite and features a teardrop shape with a high relief bunch of grapes in intricate detail, surrounded by a border of carved beads, strung on a fine black ribbon, to be worn as choker. (I love it strung on the Victorian Jet Choker pictured, which is also available in my shop.) The vulcanite has this truly stunning, relatively matte finish, with a rich warm glow— it's just so unique and unlike any other material. What is vulcanite? It is made by combining the sap of the Euphorbia or Ficus trees from Malaysia, with sulphur. It was originally invented in 1843 by Thomas Hancock. His timing just happened to be spot-on: black had long been considered essential to mourning jewelry and mourning dress, but thanks to Queen Victoria's extended 40 years of grieving (for her husband, Prince Albert), from about 1860-1890, black was considered a highly fashionable color, and began to be worn outside mourning dress. During this period, vulcanite became a very fashionable material for jewelry, and it loaned objects that gothic, romantic, dramatic black cast that Victorians just loved. Victorian mourning jewelry is rife with grape motifs; for one, grapes were a symbols of Christ (as wine is the blood of Christ). On Victorian grave markers, a cluster of grapes typically means that the deceased was of mature years. Victorians are well known for using flowers and botanicals as a means of communication. Wild grapes, according to The Language of Flowers published in 1913, are symbols of Charity, a favorite Victorian theme. NOTE: The Victorian Hair Mourning...Category

- Vintage Articulated Fish PendantLocated in New York, NYThis vintage fish pendant is such a wonderful piece to collect, or gift. The idea of fish as good luck exists in many cultures but most likely has its origins in China, where the character for fish (yu 鱼) is pronounced the same as the Chinese character for surplus (yu 余), thus the connection between fish and prosperity. Also, Pisces friends, this little fish is especially perfect for you! The figural fish is beautifully articulated, so the body moves— almost like magic! I love that he has a red stone for his eye. The color of the metal is very iridescent, with tones of both gold and silver, so it works on a chain of any tone, and is easy to mix with other jewelry. Measures 34 mm total with bales; the actual fish is 27 mm long. The pendant is sold individually, or a chain can be added if you need one; please contact me if you would like a chain. * The Vintage 14k Gold Jade Fish Pendant...Category
