Antique Carved Banded Agate Star Pendant of 14k Gold
Sold out
A captivating fusion of celestial symbolism and refined craftsmanship, this antique charm features a finely carved banded agate adorned with a turquoise-set star, all framed in 14k gold. The rich contrast of the agate's natural color banding with the vibrant blue turquoise evokes a sense of mysticism and timeless beauty.
Originally fashioned circa 1880 as a stickpin, this piece was thoughtfully converted into a pendant by removing the original pin stem and adding a custom 14k gold bail. This expert transformation preserves the integrity of the antique while rendering it wearable for the modern collector.
The pendant measures approximately 0.9 inches from the top of the bail to the base and 0.5 inches across, with a total weight of 2.24 grams. Gold purity was verified using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, confirming a solid 14k composition.
In excellent antique condition, this one-of-a-kind jewel invites a collector who values celestial motifs, rare materials, and the thoughtful reinvention of historic design.
