About the Item

This 14k gold pendant is shaped like a musical lyre and inscribed with the words “Choate Musical Clubs.” The charm is most likely associated with Choate Rosemary Hall, a boarding school founded in the 1890’s in Wallingford, Connecticut known for its rigorous academics. The initials “J.W.S.” are engraved on the back of the charm. The gold has an acid wash finish that makes the details of the lyre stand out. The charm was crafted with careful attention to detail, down to the delineation of each individual string.  The charm weighs 1.7 grams. It measures 1/2” x 3/4”.  The perfect charm for a music lover!

14K Gold Signature Classical Revival Cupid Medallion
Located in Venice, CA
Created as part of our signature collection, this 14k gold intaglio medallion depicts Cupid seated on top of a bow quiver. Cupid, the god of love and attraction, draws his arrow, ready to strike an unsuspecting victim with the power of love. Beneath him are rolling clouds that Cupid rides, as if on a ship. The image is outlined with a border of three lines to complete the beautiful image. Using a rare bronze intaglio from the late 1700’s, we created a mold and cast the pendant in gold. We hand-carved depth into the mold so that the details would pop on the contemporary medallion as beautifully as they do on the original antique intaglio, and then lovingly added a gentle patina by hand to the finished piece. The intaglio used as a mold for this medallion is attributed to the James Tassie workshop, circa the late 18th century. Born in 1735, Tassie was a Scottish stonemason who invented a glassy white paste perfect for replicating gemstones. Tassie was commissioned across Europe, first by Catherine the Great of Russia, then by the Wedgwood factory, to create imitation gemstones and elaborately carved intaglios. In 1773, most of the infamous blue and white cameos in the Wedgwood catalogue were cast from molds made by Tassie. The artist left behind a collection of over 15,800 intricate pieces of artwork. Many of Tassie’s intaglios...
