ABOUT:
Those clever Victorians and their interesting novelty jewelry. Here is an an antique whistle pendant in the shape of a cannon with a swiveling tracking leading up to the loop. Interesting to wear, still works! : ) and has a great antique look with lovely patina and beautiful engravings on all sides and on the bracket. Completely reversible / 3D with lifelike form.
Found on a recent inventory trip to Texas. No hallmarks remain, I listed it at 10k but I think it might actually be 12k, possibly British. We see different purity levels back then than what are used in America today.
Antique boxes, pendants / displays and any additional items in photos are not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
23mm end to end.
Weight is 1.3 grams.
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!
