About the Item
Large carved three dimensional natural bright deep orange coral of a devilish spirit as mischievous as he is malevolent. This well executed piece from his energetic emerald eyes to his curly winding beard, he is the embodiment of a nemesis, but in point of fact, and quite ironic, coral has always thought to ward off the evil eye. Maybe that is why this puzzling spirit has a spark of happiness to his visage. This interesting coral pendant is circa 1930 and measures approximately 1.75 inches across, 2.5 inches in length and 7/8th inches deep. It is held with 7 long 14K prongs and backed with a 14K frame, has very high relief and is suspended from a long coral and gold necklace.
The coral necklace is 33 inches long with a 22k clasp and 14k rondels (these elements have been acid tested to confirm their gold purity). The barrel shaped coral, which is slightly irregular in shape, measures approximately from 9.5 mm. up to 11.2 mm. across. The coral, which is slightly lighter in color than the pendant, and gold necklace was probably made at an earlier time. The two pieces compliment each other, but they are not a matching set.
On the verso it is marked 14K with indistinct initials probably those of the artist. The pendant has a large bale allowing it to be removed from the coral necklace. We have shown the piece also on a gold chain to show the different ways to wear the pendant. This gold chain is not included in the sale. This vintage necklace and pendant are in fine condition.
All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value, as well as any related gemological reports. Jewelry sold is guaranteed to be authentic and as represented. All diamonds are from the earth. We never use lab grown, synthetic diamonds. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a fine gift-wrapped presentation box.
We have made every attempt to photograph our jewelry with the proper lighting conditions to display our pieces as they are in real life. However no amount of effort on our end can give the reader realistic colors if the receiving system is imprecise. For realism in color, "It takes two to tango".
We have also photographed our pieces on different colors and different body types to provide our viewers with abundant information that we hope will permit them to make their best decision. If questions arise that we have not addressed here, please contact us and we shall respond.
Unless stated otherwise, or stated exactly; all weights and grades are approximated by our Gemologist using both GIA Instruments as well as instruments used as a standard and accepted practice within our trade. All purities involving metals - gold, silver, platinum, palladium are approximated within 1%. This allows for the legal tolerance in the jewelry industry. For example, 14K usually indicates a purity of 58.3% gold. However, manufacturing jewelers can legally label a piece as 14K as long as it is above 13K, or 54.2%.
Over the decades our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, has required that we we offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, some extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, admire or just wonder at the exciting, endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.

Antique Etruscan Revival Angel Skin Shell Cameo Medusa Brooch/Pendant, c. 1875
Located in Aspen, CO
Large and Exquisite Etruscan Revival pale pink hand carved conch shell cameo of Medusa, American, 1875.
Set in 14K yellow gold with an acid finish or "bloom" so that the gold color is a rich but soft finish (not highly polished) which appears to be a high, 20 or 22, karat gold. This brooch/pendant is a vertical oval (denoting the 2nd half of the 19th century) measures 3-1/16 inches tall, by 2-1/8th inches wide without the 5/8 inch long pendant bale.
Though unsigned or hallmarked the craftsmanship associated with the gold work in the Etruscan Revival style is nothing short of exceptional from the stylized wing and snake motifs to the perfectly shaped and spaced tiny spherical gold granulation. And, as for the carving of the pink shell cameo...

Antique Serpent
Heart Necklace with fancy cut Garnet
Diamond Eyes, c. 1870
Located in Aspen, CO
Antique Necklace hand made in 18K yellow gold with a serpent and heart motif, the heart and serpent have fancy cut red garnets and the serpent's eyes and nose are rose cut diamonds.
This necklace is in fine condition, 16.25 inches long with the hanging section of the serpent and heart is 1.5 inches. The weight is 30.6 grams. Please note: Our model in the photographs has a medium to large necklace size and hand size. This antique necklace bears no marks. We have performed an acid test to confirm its gold purity as being 18K (.750).
When in the late 1830's Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (in Germany) proposed to his cousin Queen Victoria with a ring in the form of a snake, he soon became Prince Consort and Victorians soon came to consider serpent motif jewels to be symbols of eternal love.
And, when Albert died in 1860, Victoria, as if to demonstrate her eternal commitment, entered a period of mourning and formal remembrance that lasted for the rest of her life, thereby publicly showing her love decades after Albert's death.
