ABOUT:
Wonderful little antique figural pendant or charm in 14k gold of a figural 3D piggy. Lifelike texture with little ears and curly tail - just the cutest.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries the pig was a popular lucky charm in many countries.
Wonderful patina in buttery gold with rosy gold seen under magnification on the raised areas from organic wear - just what you want to see on gold pieces of this age.
It would be interesting on a charm bracelet, or looks absolutely adorable and whimsical as a pendant.
Chain in photos is not included. Any other items shown in group photos are listed separately in the shop. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos. Note the small loop, it may need a larger jump ring to run a chain through.
MEASUREMENTS:
Dimensions: measures 22mm wide nose to tail by 11mm tall to the top of the loop.
Weight: 1.1 grams.
He's a little guy so check the group photo for scale : )
MARKS:
Stamped 14k on one side.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
