Antique Mother-of-Pearl Gaming Counter Pendant with Amethyst and Citrine

About the Item

This stunning pendant features a beautifully fretted antique mother-of-pearl gambling counter set in precious 18k yellow gold with rich purple amethyst cabochons and brilliant Madeira colored citrines. Gambling counters, or gaming chips as they were also called, were originally hand-carved in China for export to Britain where they were used the way we use poker chips. Intricately carved with a scene depicting life in ancient China, this particular piece also features gorgeous ornamental openwork bordering the scene in the middle. It has been set against a bright 18k yellow gold frame whose design echos the mother-of-pearl border. Bright purple amethyst cabochons and warm Madeira citrines accent each of the 4 sides, adding bright pops of color to this luxurious pendant. A lovely conversation piece with historical significance, this pendant was handcrafted in 18k yellow gold by our Master Jewelers in Los Angeles. Chain sold separately. Pendant measures 2.50 inches in width, 2.75 inches in length, including the length of the bail

Antique Mother-of-Pearl Gaming Counter Pendant in Gold, Blackened Silver & Steel
By Sarosi By Timeless Gems
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This striking necklace features an antique, mother-of-pearl Chinese gambling counter dating back to the 18th Century. The oval gaming counter is set in a striking blackened silver setting that is accented with an 18k yellow gold rivet and bail. This design is very versatile and looks beautiful worn with both casual and dressy attire! Originally carved in China for export to Britain, gaming counters were used like we would use poker chips. Each was engraved by hand with exquisite detail; different sizes and shapes were made to represent different denominations. These are original counters that we have made into an elegant line of jewelry we call our "Eastern Gates Collection." Each gaming counter is original and unique. The designs in this collection were inspired by the architecture of ancient China; each gaming counter is set in hand-engraved 18k yellow gold with brightly polished silver (and/or blackened silver). The pieces all complement each other beautifully and are perfect for wearing alone or mixing and matching in various combinations. Wonderful conversation pieces that display beautiful craftsmanship, rich history, and a lasting appreciation of art! Handcrafted by our jewelers in Los Angeles. This pendant measures 1-1/2" across and 1" high from top to bottom, including the bail. One 18-inch, blackened steel link chain is included; chains up...
