Antique Pelican and Her Piety Enamel Conversion Charm of 14k Gold

In ancient times, it was believed that mother pelicans sacrificed their own blood to feed their young during times of food shortages. This belief made pelicans a powerful heraldic symbol known as "The Pelican in Her Piety" which represented self sacrifice and motherhood.

This 14k gold and enamel "Pelican and her Piety" charm was originally an antique cufflink (circa 1915-1920).

A perfect gift for any mother, this piece measures 0.95 inches from top to bottom by 0.55 inches wide, and it is in great condition.

Materials: Gold.
