About the Item
This beautiful antique 18 karat gold pendant is a fine example of 19th-century devotional jewelry, featuring an intricately detailed relief of Saint Christopher, revered as the protector of travelers. The front of the pendant depicts the iconic scene of the saint fording a river, leaning on a staff for support while carrying the Christ Child on his shoulder. The child holds a globe, symbolizing his dominion over the world, a classic representation in Christian iconography.
Rendered with remarkable craftsmanship, the design captures both strength and serenity, with delicate textures that highlight the flowing water, Saint Christopher’s muscular form, and the gentle presence of the Christ Child. The background subtly suggests a landscape with trees and hills, adding depth and narrative to the piece.
The reverse side of the pendant is plain, polished gold, bearing the hallmark "750", indicating its composition of 18 karat gold (75% pure). This purity ensures both a rich color and lasting value. The circular shape is classic and balanced, measuring 2 cm in diameter, and the attached loop allows for easy wear on a chain or cord.
