A fine and impressive vintage 1.07 carat natural emerald, 18 carat yellow gold 'artisan' pendant; part of our diverse vintage jewellery collection

This unique vintage emerald pendant has been crafted in 18ct yellow gold.

The unusual pendant depicts two hands holding a hammer and chisel within a frame designed in the form of a pair of curved callipers.

The chisel is inserted in to the upper border of a feature 1.07ct square step cut natural emerald collet held within a shaped 18 carat yellow gold frame.

The craftsman related pendant is suspended from a contemporary 9ct, medium, 46cm/18" yellow gold trace chain via a ring loop attachment inserted through the calliper "hinge".

This fairly unique necklace secures to the reverse with a conventional spring loop fastening.

This vintage pendant has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18ct gold.

It is supplied with an IDGL diamond grading report card.

'Rather than regarding inclusions in coloured stones as harmful, in small sizes and numbers that do not in any way detract from their beauty, they should be regarded as adding to desirability, for they provide identifying characteristics.'
