Vintage Landscape Pendant of Sandstone

A striking and imaginative creation, this pendant presents a serene feldspar sandstone landscape adorned with a bird in flight, its form crafted from pearls and a single diamond in its beak. The bird, originally the head of an antique stickpin (circa 1910), has been expertly riveted onto a vintage brooch (circa 1970), now beautifully reimagined as a pendant—an artful union of two eras of fine craftsmanship.

The 10k gold piece measures approximately 2.1 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom by 1.1 inches wide and weighs 16.07 grams. The combination of natural stone, lustrous pearls, and sparkling diamond evokes a tranquil harmony between earth and sky, lending this jewel a poetic, one-of-a-kind charm.

The metal has been professionally tested using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring authenticity and composition integrity. In excellent condition, this pendant exemplifies both the creativity of period jewelers and the thoughtful artistry of modern restoration—making it a conversation piece for the discerning collector who values narrative and transformation in antique jewelry.
