Carnelian is said to symbolise courage and strength so we love that this particular piece features a tooth/tusk polished piece of carnelian - it feels a very fitting shape for the stone!
The carnelian has wonderful natural blemishes trapped inside the stone and due to it's translucency it's like peering inside another world when you look at the stone close up. It is set in a wonderful gold tone metal cap with embossed leaf and floral detailing.
The pendant measures approx 32.6mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 10.3mm wide by approx 10.7mm deep and weighs approx 4.1g.
Condition - The pendant is in good vintage condition with some surface wear to the gold tone metal and carnelian stone. There is a lip to the metal cap at the top from when the pendant was made and old solder marks can be seen on the top where the ring is connected to the cap. The gold tone metal is a little worn in places. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Please see photos.
*Please note the antique box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
