This pendant carries loads of symbolism representing faith and hope of reunion beyond death. These miniature portraits were extremely popular during the late 18th century depicting highly detailed scenes painted on a little wafer of ivory.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece is a gorgeous example of Georgian allegorical jewelry and I love how the seed pearl halo adds such a feminine touch with its soft lustrous sheen. The condition is quite good considering it’s age of over 200 years old. There’s a small scratch to the top of the crystal casing but all the pearls are intact and original. It has a small bit of loss to the ivory wafer at the bottom but it’s not super noticeable since the area is painted such a dark tone.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasures 17mm x 35.5mm and has a total weight of 4.46 grams. The back has engraved initials that read “EL” in beautiful antique script.
