This beautiful antique 15ct gold retracting pencil pendant is a fine collector's piece, and an all round exquisite example of Victorian craftsmanship.
With every inch intricately engraved and embossed in feminine floral detailing the top is set with a citrine gemstone seal. Fully functioning, she is as pretty as she is practical, a sliding ring pushes up to reveal the threaded nozzle that screws off to insert new lead. A collar at the top has gold jump ring securely soldered closed. This piece can be purchased with or without the new 9ct gold fine curb chain as pictured. The chain is 18"/45cm in length and stamped '375' on the clasp
Perfect for layering with other antique pendants, this beautiful miniature pencil pendant will make a lavish gift for a writer friend or loved one.
