About the Item

Ethereal and rare, this antique pendant features a mystical saphiret glass “Man in the Moon”, glowing with its signature iridescence. Originally part of an 1890s bookmark, this extraordinary piece was expertly converted by our jeweler, who added a custom 14k gold backing and bail to transform it into a wearable work of art. The pendant measures approximately 1 inch from the top of the bail to the bottom and 0.75 inches wide, with a weight of 3.75 grams. It is in great antique condition, with the saphiret glass beautifully preserved and the goldwork finely executed. To ensure authenticity and quality, the gold has been professionally tested using both X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and jeweler’s acid methods, confirming its 14k purity. A captivating fusion of Victorian sentiment and celestial symbolism, this pendant is a rare and meaningful addition to any collection—ideal for the woman who seeks out the unusual and the unforgettable.
