GARGOYLE Lion Victorian ANTIQUE 10k Gold Pearl Ruby Eyes Pendant Medallion Charm Figural 3D
GARGOYLE Lion Victorian ANTIQUE 10k Gold Pearl Ruby Eyes Pendant Medallion Charm Figural 3D
ABOUT:
Fun and whimsical antique Victorian pendant or medallion gemset and crafted in 10k gold. It has a raised design of what looks like a lion or gargoyle with a pearl in its mouth and red ruby eyes. It may also represent a faun, pan, green man or north wind man character - but such a great look with the character rising up out of the sleek background. Scarce design.
It looks like a locket but does not open. It has initials engraved on the back.
No hallmarks remain but sold to me from a reputable estate jeweler and then tested to confirm.
MEASUREMENTS:
It measures 27mm wide, 42mm to the top of the large loop. Weight is 4.8g.
CONDITION:
All my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. The back has a thumbprint side smooth impression where it is gradually caved in, not visible while wearing. Some surface wear and a bit of patina which could probably be polished out but my buyers usually prefer original patina. A slight scuff here or there. I don't see any deep dents on the cover. Amazing patina, just a bit of surface wear.
As with all my estate pieces - due to age, please note this is not a mint condition item.
I dearly love, collect, wear and sell antique jewelry so please check out my other listings and thanks so much for stopping by my shop!
