Antique Large French Pendant 18k Gold Female Form
$ 2,200.00
I woke up the other morning, it was later than usual. The day’s light was out and the coolness of winter had settled into the ground. I wore this pendant, round and golden like the sun, a parallelism and beautiful cliché all in one. Gazing out my back-porch windows I saw that the frost had swathed the grasses and drench the leaves in glittering ice crystals. Birds chattered as they perched on the feeders, flirting and racing around, making me laugh, making the pendant that hung around my neck catch the sunlight. It was all quite the sight to see.
This large and weighty antique Belle Epoque pendant was handcrafted in France around 1900. It’s a round pendant that features a beautiful woman with long golden locks carrying a bundle of fabric (or the Virgin Mary carrying a baby? We weren’t sure!). This elegant piece measures 49.5 mm north to south and 38.7 mm across. It weighs 16 grams. It bears the maker’s mark, “DECHAMPS” and the French eagle’s head mark, indicating it was made in 18 karat gold and assayed in Paris.
I wear it with a thin dark pink ribbon strung through the bale. It gives it that little something extra. Now it’s your turn to make it your own.

Antique Edwardian Large Diamond Cross Pendant 18k Gold Platinum
$ 5,500.00
Just because something is pious doesn’t mean that it can’t also be beautiful. After all, Art and Religion have been intertwined for as long as either one has existed. Art museums are filled with religious icons of gold and gems and the churches and cathedrals of Europe are still some of the best places to view art and architecture. The Vatican itself houses one of the best collections of art in the world; all you need do is look up inside the Sistine Chapel to see this. Popes throughout history commissioned some of the best art we have ever known. (With extra thanks to Julius II for letting Michelangelo loose with a brush).
This fantastically conceived antique Edwardian cross is further proof of the link. Fully hand crafted in 18 karat gold and platinum topped, this cross is set 12 Old European cut diamonds and 32 rose cuts giving it the appeal of a candlelit cathedral. The full cut diamonds add up to about 1.45 carats total weight. This largish cross measures 62 mm north to south include the diamond set top bale and 34.1 mm across and it weighs 5.4 grams. This fabulous cross is unmarked but has been acid tested to verify the content.
Art, religion, faith, beauty, a righteous combination.
