Type of jewel: Vintage antique 14K gold pendant with enamel decoration around 200 years old
Condition: Considering its age, the jewel is remarkably well-preserved. Crafted from thin, yet fully genuine gold, it bears some dents that enhance its antique charm and maintain its satisfactory condition.
Style: Vintage antique
Era: ca. 1830
Material: 14K pink gold (touchstone tested)
Technique: Enamelling is an old and widely-adopted technology. The ancient Egyptians applied enamels to pottery and stone objects. Enamel is the colorful result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating on metal, glass or ceramic.
Extra information: During the era when this jewel was crafted, the cost of gold was quite high while labor was relatively inexpensive. To ensure that even people who were not very wealthy could wear gold jewelry, jewelers employed a technique of making the gold jewelry extremely thin, resulting in an optimal effect with minimal intrinsic costs. As a result, these delicate jewels are highly vulnerable, and throughout the years, various incidents could have occurred, making it challenging to come across them in such a well-preserved state.
Most probably "born" as an earring and somewhere in its life changed into this pendant.
Hallmarks: No trace.

- Antique and vintage jewellery often undergoes thoughtful refurbishment, remodelling, or repairs to enhance its longevity and wearability. Such pieces frequently bear marks of this tender care. Furthermore, we present our antique and vintage jewellery in its authentic state, refraining from removing scratches or applying rhodium plating to white gold items. Our priority is to preserve the genuine allure and history of each piece. However, as the new owner, you have the option to take it to a local goldsmith for a cosmetic refresh, should you choose.
