$167 USD SaleSALE Antique European Carved Ivory Full Stemmed Rose Pendant on G.F. Chain
Jewelry:Antique
This exquisite hand-carved antique ivory rose pendant has the most intricate detail I have encountered in a carved flower! Not only is the full-bloom rose deeply cut with layers of petals, but they furl back upon themselves. The leaves have serrated edges and multiple veins in their centers, the chubby buds show the layers of their young petals in the curled, frisee’ edges, and the stems even have thorns! The deeply dimensional pendant measures 2” high by 1 1/4”. The large bail is itself 5/8” ...

The stickpin’s loosely oval top is ¾” high and a little more than ½” wide and has a dark golden finish over brass. The intentionally oxidized design of clouds is set with three bright rose pink glass cabochons. The characters below may be a form of good luck; I could only translate one as a sort of blessing ...

SOLDSOLD Antique Sterling & Carnelian HORSE HEAD Watch Fob with Seal

This antique, cast sterling silver horse head watch fob has strong character and is augmented with a carnelian base which is both ornamental and practical as it can be engraved to use as a wax seal.
