About the Item
Set in an 18k gold filigree fob, this Golden Sandstone orb has a mesmerizing sparkle. The orb rotates, giving the piece movement that enhances the stone's unique glittering effect. The scrolling motif of the 18k gold setting creates a beautiful frame for the orb to sit in. The stone is capped with floral, fluid circles on both top and bottom, revealing the lovely attention to detail put into crafting this piece.
Gold Sandstone is known as the Stone of Ambition, and is considered to bring creativity, focus, and the ability to achieve one’s goals. It dates back to the 17th century and, according to legend, was invented by monks experimenting with alchemy. The sandstone in this fob seems to represent the world—maybe the Stone of Ambition in this pendant could be worn as a symbol that the world is within your reach!
The pendant measures 1” from top to bottom; the orb itself measures approximately 3/4” in diameter. The oval bail is 4.6 x 7 mm. The pendant weighs 13.25 grams.
Circa the 1900, this sandstone orb is the Victorian era predecessor to the disco ball!

Victorian 18K Gold Capped Large Coral Large Cornicello Pendant
Located in Venice, CA
Circa the Victorian era, this beautifully polished piece of natural branch coral has an organic form and rich salmon color. The coral has a waxy patina and glows the way only Victorian coral can. It has a lovely elongated shape, capped with an 18k gold repeating leaf foliate motif. The growth patterns and natural details of the coral are visible, and because a piece of branch coral this size is hard to find, this is a rare piece.
Acquired on a recent trip to Amsterdam, we believe this piece to be Dutch made. It was originally a seal that had never had a cypher, or monogram, added to it. We thought it would make a perfect pendant, so we added an 18k gold bail with a matte finish to match the antique nature of the piece. The 18k gold cap, intended to be a cypher, is hand-carved with bright cut work—creating a pattern of leaves from tiny punched in cut marks. The gold has a great patina that we left in tact, as it is part of the antique charm of the piece.
The large pendant has presence on the neck. It looks great alone, but also stacks beautifully with other charms. It is pictured here on our Signature Handmade Dog Bone Link Chain...
