AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lovely German antique 800-silver pendant set with a large oval mother-of-pearl cabochon.
At the top, the mounting is adorned with stylized floral motifs (roses) and graceful scrolls (volutes), which transition into a finely worked, stepped edge surrounding the stone.
Mother-of-pearl is known for its soft, iridescent luster that reflects light in a unique way.
Stamped with the silver mark “800.”
Length of the pendant is 5.0 cm.
Weight is 4.40 grams.
After decades of careful collecting, I have decided to part with (a part of) my collection. I want these special objects to find a place with a new enthusiast who understands the value of historic preservation. It is time these pieces receive the attention they deserve, so they can be preserved for the distant future.
I will ensure extremely careful packaging and insured shipping.
