🐣 Baron Leopald de Rothschild jockey colors, thus created for him. Completely hallmarked, previously misattributed since the auction houses did not have access to the entire hallmark BC which is the Cyrillic alphabet for VS Vladimir Solovyev, now how cool is that ! With the traditional Zolotnik hallmark 56 which stands for 14K gold and Saint Peters castle, with beautiful alternative blue yellow guilloche enamel in a swirling pattern, now talk about eYe Candy ! Approximate date of creation 1898-1904. Weighs approximately 5.1 grams. Approximately 2 cm (12.5/16 of an inch) in height including attachment loop but excluding bale, and approximately 1.23 cm (7.7/16 of an inch) at its widest near central curves. This Easter egg charm was So popular that the master art goldsmith Vladimir Solovyev was asked to create another which he did but not nearly as well or as beautiful, the second copy was auctioned at Sothebys. Feel free to check out my other Museum Quality Fab Collection !
LAST TWO IMAGES, very small surface blue enamel chip, maintains original blue enamel underneath which made it difficult to photo and illustrate, so if your searching for a mint condition jewel then this historical jewel is not for you ! Please only purchase if you totally accept this beauty as is !
Happy Easter 🐣
