SALE Fabulous Vintage Wedgwood Black Basalt Cupid Necklace

Antique & Vintage Jewelry : Vintage : Fine

 

This is a splendid necklace by Wedgwood. It features five different basalt ovals with cupid(s) in various settings. Each oval is about 1" across by 3/8" tall.

The ovals are set in pretty gold-filled/plate open mounts with a lovely twisted wire surround. Strung together with gold links, the piece hangs from a gold-filled chain. It looks very elegant worn around the neck.

The images are all very well done; Cupid is depicted in a variety of escapades, including floating on a cloud with bow and arrow in hand, riding a dolphin over the clouds, and riding a sea serpent on a cloud. Another looks as if Cupid is considering milking a doe (?).

Total length is 19". Weighs 16.3 grams. I've examine each oval under a loupe and apart from the odd bit of grime/dust, I don't see any wear or damage. The necklace is in such good condition, it looks as if it was hardly worn. Very light wear to the gold-fill/plate finish.

Backs are all stamped "WEDGWOOD, MADE IN ENGLAND, 64, TC."
