Antique pendants and charms

A pendant hangs from a chain by a bail or another attachment, while a charm fastens to a bracelet or chain by a jump ring or clasp, often alongside other charms. In both cases, the piece is defined by its motif and by the mechanism that allows it to hang or attach.

These jewels vary widely in shape and size, intended to be combined or worn alone. The choice depends on the motif, the size of the attachment and its compatibility with a chain or bracelet already owned.

Hallmarks provide information about the metal and its fineness. When a pendant or charm features a stone, its proportions and facets deserve attention, particularly for old cuts. Condition is assessed by wear to the metal, the security of the bail or attachment ring, and the stability of the setting where applicable.

Insured delivery is complimentary. A certificate of authenticity accompanies each piece.
