About the Item
This captivating Mid Century lion pendant is a powerful symbol of strength, courage, and timeless elegance, rendered in richly detailed 18k yellow gold. Designed in the 1960s, the pendant showcases a beautifully sculpted lion’s head, its expressive form brought to life through confident goldwork and thoughtful gemstone accents. Measuring approximately 1⅝ by ⅞ inches, the pendant has a commanding yet refined presence, making it a striking focal piece.
Accenting the design are ten single cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.05 carat, adding subtle sparkle and dimension to the lion’s features. Two vivid round brilliant cut emeralds—often used to represent the eyes—introduce vibrant green contrast, while a single round brilliant cut ruby adds a bold flash of red, enhancing the pendant’s expressive character. The interplay of diamonds, emeralds, and ruby creates a rich palette that feels both regal and dynamic.
Crafted in warm 18k yellow gold and finished with purity and maker’s marks, this pendant reflects exceptional Mid Century craftsmanship and enduring symbolism. Bold, distinctive, and full of character, it is a timeless statement piece—perfect for collectors drawn to expressive design, fine detail, and jewelry with powerful presence and meaning.
