A classic antique Scottish bloodstone pendant hand carved into heart shaped shield shape.
A mystical hardstone thought to represent life and birth along with vitality and strength, to the Victorians it was known as the heroes stone and was said to bring passion and courage, hence the shield shape.
This is a very nice specimen stone, a lovely deep glossy olive green and red flecking throughout with little amoeba like inclusions on one side. The stone measures 1-1/8x 1" (28x25mm) and 6mm deep.
A simple triangular pinch bale completes the pendant and we have added a new gold filled jump ring and a vermeil (9ct gold plated sterling silver) rolo/Belcher 18" chain. Our chains are manufactured in Italy, they are high quality and fully hallmarked.
The necklace weighs 7.6 grams and condition is excellent with no damage to the stone.
