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 Victorian Mizpah Band Ring 3 Color 18k Gold Hallmarked 1881

The term 'Mizpah' is found in Genesis 31:49, it means 'watchtower' and is used as a blessing, meaning "May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other". You just know that those sentimental Victorians had to use this romantic and wonderful phrase in their art and jewelry! This ring would likely have been considered a 'sweetheart ring' and would have been given by a gentleman to his lady love interest to show his intention to court her.
This charming three tone Mizpah ring is hand crafted in 18 karat gold. It was made in Chester, England in 1881 and is fully hallmarked. The ring spells out the word Mizpah in Gothic letters of pink and greenish gold on a band of yellow gold. The band measures 9 mm wide all the way around; it is a size 5.5 US and weighs 5.2 grams.
I just fell in love with this sentimental sweetheart of a ring!
