Enrich your jewellery collection with this fascinating piece from the 19th century - an antique medallion pendant that can also be worn as an elegant brooch. Created around 1850, this piece of jewellery is a testament to the artistic craftsmanship and aesthetic understanding of the time.
The centrepiece of this pendant is the oval body, masterfully decorated with abstract acanthus leaves and scrolled tendrils that are captivating in their attention to detail and delicacy. These elements are not only decorative, but also symbolic, reflecting the closeness to nature and creativity of the era.
At the centre of this magnificent design is a vine leaf-shaped decorative element set with an exquisite small oriental pearl. This pearl adds a touch of sophistication and luxury to the piece, while gently catching and reflecting the light.
The special manufacturing technique of this piece of jewellery - foam gold - gives it a unique quality and lightness. In this technique, sheets of gold and silver are pressed into shape, chiselled and carefully soldered together to create a delicate yet robust structure.
The reverse of the medallion reveals another special feature: a glass frame that allows a personal picture or memento to be kept safe. This feature makes the locket a personalised and sentimental object.
After careful restoration in our goldsmith's workshop, this foam gold locket is in excellent condition. It is not just a piece of jewellery, but a piece of history that captures the elegance and spirit of its time. Whether worn as a pendant or brooch, this exquisite and rare foam gold locket is a true jewel for connoisseurs and lovers of antique treasures.
