4457 ANTIQUE VICTORIAN PENDANT, NATURAL CORAL & 18K GOLD
 
Presented here, a beautiful antique Victorian era pendant made in 18K solid gold (profesionally acid-tested) and natural coral. As the pictures show, the carved coral shows the figure in high relief or the tiny sculpture of a young man, an ephebe with an ancient roman look,  who seems to escape from the gold frame. The coral ephebe is set with a total of eighteen (18) ornated claws, please refer to the pictures. The 18K gold frame itself is made with ten (10) concave and ten (10) fluted-convex pieces granting a subtle Etruscan-revival view.  
Please refer to the pictures, they speak by themselves.
