Antique Wordley Allsopp & Bliss Pendant of 14k Gold

Dating to circa 1910–1915, this striking antique pendant is centered with a large round citrine-colored glass, richly set in solid 14 karat gold. The warm, sunlit tone of the glass captures and reflects light beautifully, harmonizing with the deep glow of the gold to create a radiant, eye-catching effect.

The piece bears the maker’s mark of Wordley, Allsopp & Bliss, the esteemed Newark, New Jersey firm known for its fine craftsmanship in the early 20th century, adding both historical significance and collectible appeal.

The pendant measures an impressive 2.1 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom and 1.55 inches wide. Weighing a substantial 19.48 grams, it offers exceptional presence and satisfying heft, lending remarkable visual impact and gravitas when worn.

It remains in excellent antique condition, with the glass secure in its setting and the goldwork well preserved.

Metal authenticity has been professionally verified through XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 14K gold construction. A bold and elegant example of early 20th-century design, this pendant is ideal for collectors who appreciate generous scale, warmth, and distinguished American craftsmanship in antique jewelry.
