Gold rat charm

Victorian 15ct gold seed pearl crescent pendant on a 9ct gold bolt ring, both circa 1890 We had this crescent professionally converted form a brooch to a stunning pendant to give it a new lease of life, and we hope you'll agree it's done just that! The wonderful seed pearls are so pure and yummy looking in that rich 15ct yellow gold that the Victorians loved for their pieces. The jeweller has cleverly put the new 9ct gold bail and jump ring where the old brooch fitting was. This is a regal and special piece, and looks so fine on a chunky antique chain. We have paired it with a Victorian 9ct gold bolt ring, which enhances the crescent in such a subtle way. If you would prefer to buy the crescent without the bolt ring, please get in touch and we can adjust the listing for you. Hallmarked: kind of  - stamped 15 to reverse of crescent; bolt ring has 9 .375 mark to jump ring Approximate length of bolt ring and crescent together is 5cm; crescent is around 2.7cm at widest Bolt ring is approximately 1.4cm wide and 2cm in length Gross weight: crescent: 5g; bolt ring: 1.7g Condition: bolt clasp is rather stiff and only opens a little way - we recommend you don't force it; its pin is a bit off centre but still secure
