Victorian 1880 18ct gold and enamel pendant-restored

Welcome to Chic Antique. We believe that all beautiful handmade and heirloom pieces need to be preserved and loved. Our pieces are lovingly restored when possible and come in a luxury velvet box. A rare find, this enamel and 18ct gold pendant is well loved and started life as a hunters watch case. The movement is long gone and it has spent the rest of it's life as a well loved pendant. This is circa 1880's when celestial themes such as stars and moons were the height of fashion. I had three natural pearls replaced from antique pieces by John Innes a retired jeweller who specialises in Antique pieces. I then used 23ct gold leaf on the back, that was worn beyond repair and filled this with resin. You can still see the machines lines through the resin. I have left the photo of how it looked before it was restored. when sourced from an estate auction this was 4 grams of 18ct gold. Now that it has been restored it is now 5.16grams The pendant/charm is 35mm long and 25mm wide. I have paired this with a 45cm gold dipped sterling silver chain and it will come in a gold lined leather box with white velvet. will be sent by fully insured signed courier anywhere in New Zealand for free.
