Crazy Swinging Turquoise Pendant
A wonderful pendant with a lovely crazy design. The pendant appears to originate in China as there is a Chinese character on the bail. It is made from 14kt gold that has a pretty rosy tint to it and has multiple drops fixed to the front. The drops are all matrix turquoise that have been set in spectacle settings. There are 12 gemstones in total of varying styles and shapes. There is plenty of movement throughout the piece and it is an unusual fun design.
Chains pictured are for display only.
Details:
Materials - 14kt Gold (tested), Matrix Turquoise
Age - Could be early 20th Century due to overall look and construction, though I am uncertain. Will continue to try to ascertain the origin of the hallmark.
Size - The turquoise vary in size, some around 5.5mm in diameter, others around 9mm by 5mm. The pendant as a whole is approx 35mm long from the top of the bail to the bottom of the longest hanging drop
Condition - Good. A little hole in the back of the gold to one side, please see pictures.
Weight - 7.12g
