This beautiful 9ct gold pendant has full British hallmarks for the year 1962 and is very much in the Victorian style, a jewellery trend that enjoyed a real revival in the 60's and 70's.
Crafted as a lady's seal style fob it is a dainty size and very pretty. The uncarved "seal" in the bottom is a slice of Scottish chalcedony in a glowing emerald green colour. It is set in a decorative sawtooth bezel whilst the top is decorated in graceful yellow gold scrollwork. Chalcedony is a highly regarded gemstone, worn in many cultures to protect from the 'evil eye' and without a doubt green is a lucky colour so this piece may have hidden charms too!
A soldered gold ring at the top means this lady is ready to wear on your favorite gold chain. A decorative and elegant classic piece of antique style jewellery!
