A beautifully proportioned, slightly mottled bowenite egg pendant, with scalloped gold cap and suspension loop.
Ubiquitous symbol of life and resurrection. A symbol of luck and wealth and of protecting hidden secrets.
And of course, for many centuries the egg has been associated with Easter. The tradition of exchanging eggs at Easter is believed to reach back to the third decade of the first century.
A very similarly designed piece by Fabergé was sold at auction by Elmwoods in February 2023.
Marks:
Partially struck to the surmount loop, indistinct.
Date:
Late 19th/Early 20th century.
Length:
3.9cms.
Condition:
Generally very good. Small marks to the surmount.
By clicking to ‘Purchase’ you agree to having read the Important Information for Purchasers.
Our primary concern is that you are pleased with your purchase. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like about a product before clicking purchase. We appreciate patina and the ‘age’ that older pieces acquire, because of this we do not polish pieces to strip away the age (though your local jeweller may be willing to do this for you for a small fee). Secondhand, vintage and antique pieces will naturally show scratches and small marks, these will often appear more noticeable in the enlarged images that we have made available for you. Our images are as realistic as they can be. Although any appreciable defects/damages will be mentioned please do inspect the images as they do form a part of the condition report.
Antique items may longer not be suitable for everyday wear or may benefit from thoughtful consideration when worn with care.
