Description
A lovely hand-crafted faceted rock crystal drop pendant, c1920. It has all the sparkle from that beautifully-faceted quartz stone, you would hope to find. I love the hand-tooled leaves and that opal set at the front in its own mille grain setting. Lovely! Possible makers include Sandheim and Thew but not enough to go on, to make a solid attribution.
I love the way the leaves have been draped down the design with their stalks all curled over the same at the top to create a lovely edge all the way around the pendant. It is such a wearable piece as it is a lovely size at approx 5.1cm including the bale. Wonderfully unusual to have an opal feature and this round opal has a blue tone with blue, orange and yellow flashes. In excellent order and it truly bounces the light around on those copious facets.
The chain shown in some images is NOT included so the listing is for the pendant only.
As mentioned the pendant height is approx 5.1cm. In pleasing condition, both stones and silver work, with some patina on the leaves (it adds depth to the veins on the leaves).
I shall post in a new gift box by complimentary tracked and signed post. Thank you. Boxes in the images are for display only -thank you.
