Antique Nautical Scene Pendant of Tri Color Gold & Platinum
Sold out
A beautifully detailed antique pendant (circa 1900), depicting a finely rendered seascape with a castle and a sailboat, crafted in tri-color 13 karat gold and platinum. The composition showcases subtle color contrasts between the metals, skillfully used to evoke depth and movement within the scene—an approach characteristic of early 20th-century decorative artistry. The nautical motif reflects the period’s fascination with nature and travel, with the interplay of gold hues bringing the seascape to life in a refined and understated manner.
The pendant measures 1.5 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom and 0.8 inches wide, with a weight of 9.63 grams, offering a substantial yet elegant presence when worn. It is presented in great antique condition, with details crisp and surfaces well preserved.
Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming 13K gold and platinum construction. A distinctive and collectible example of Edwardian pictorial jewelry.
