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.

Victorian St. Andrews Cross Scottish Brooch Pin
$ 2,480.00
This fantastic Victorian Scottish Agate St. Andrew’s Cross Brooch was hand crafted during the 1880’s. Saint Andrew, also called Saint Andrew the Apostle, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the brother of Saint Peter, and is the patron saint of Scotland (and Russia). Set within a circle of grey Montrose agates, the deep red agates of the cross contrast beautifully against greens and yellows of the shield shaped bumblebee agate at the center, each one hand set in a solid, hand wrought and chased frame of 9 karat gold. This spectacular antique Scottish brooch measures 50.6 x 40.9 x 7.2 millimeters and weighs 17.5 grams . This stunning brooch would look fantastic on any scarf, jacket or kilt or plaid!
(Please note, while this stunning brooch is in excellent overall condition, there is one very small split in the gold work, of which I have included a close up. This minor split can be expertly laser repaired by my jeweler at no charge if desired, but I have not done so before listing it because in my opinion it is minor enough that it does not affect the visual beauty or structural integrity of the brooch.)
