18K Gold Vintage Manneken Pis Charm or Pendant

About the Item

18K Gold Vintage Manneken Pis Charm or Pendant The Manneken Pis, or the “Little Pissing Man” is a landmark in Brussels famous for depicting a small boy urinating into the basin of a fountain. Built in 1618, it captures Belgian humor and is one of the most famous symbols for Brussels. Legend has it that in the Middle Ages, the territory that is now Brussels was under attack. A small boy was lifted up above the troops, and he urinated on the enemy soldiers, causing them to lose the battle. This little Manneken Pis is made from 18k gold and stands 7/8” high and 3/8” wide, with a 5.6 mm circular bail. It weighs 4.85 grams. The charm has wonderful detail that is true to the real life statue it replicates. It stands on a tiny square podium that reads “ Bruxelles” and is marked with “750” as well as an unidentified maker’s mark. It is the perfect size to wear on a chain as a pendant, or stacked on a charm bracelet with other charms. Wearing this Manneken Pis is a great reminder not to take life too seriously—sometimes the toughest battles are won with clever ideas and a good sense of humor.

  • Vintage 18K Gold Pomellato Frosted Heart Pendant Necklace
    By Pomellato
    Located in Venice, CA
    This 18k gold and glass heart radiates with a warm amber hue. Both gold and glass are acid etched, which gives them a matte finish that is luminous and beautiful. The heart is held in an untraditional off-center mount, with an oversized bail, that allows the pendant to hang off to the side for a unique and sophisticated look. The heart is translucent, and when held in the light, it glows. Since 1967, Pomellato has been on the cutting edge of fashion-forward jewelry. Founded in Milan by Pino Rabolini, Pomellato jewelry is known for being avant garde, colorful, and impeccably crafted. It revolutionized women’s jewelry and is described as embodying modern yet unconventional beauty. The heart-shaped pendant measures approximately 1 1/4” across and 1” tall, not including the bail. The bail measures approximately 9/16” x 7/16”. The bail is wide enough to fit a variety of chains, so there are many possibilities for how this pendant could be worn. It looks fantastic on an omega chain, clipped into a dog clasp...
