Antique Pendant with Very fine portrait enamel of Cherubs, 18K, French, c. 1860

About the Item

Exquisite substantial pendant necklace crafted in 18k yellow gold. The piece features a detailed enamel painting of cherubs, surrounded by a border of natural white pearls. The pendant is adorned with a delicate bow motif at the top, from which pearl-studded chains elegantly drape. The design is completed with pointed gold accents hanging from the base. Measuring 4.25 inches in length, this French creation from 1860 embodies the Napoleon III style. This piece has a locket/hair receiver on the back. It also bears the French control mark. Please note, the chain is contemporary, and is not included in the sale price. Our model is a medium to large size lady. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value by our gemologist, as well as all original gemological documentation, if specified in the listing. As always, we guarantee all of pieces to be exactly as represented. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a finely gift-wrapped presentation box. Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices and even lower prices, if possible. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
