This antique French pendant is modeled as a cluster of ivy leaves with berry clusters trailing along an open, pierced border, a naturalistic motif favored in French goldwork of the period. The leaves are rendered with deep, incised veining and a warm, hand-finished surface that catches light differently across each facet. A fixed bail sits atop the design, ready for a chain of your choosing.
The reverse carries a French eagle head hallmark confirming 18K gold, alongside a maker's mark that is only partially struck and remains unidentified. Ivy has long symbolized fidelity and enduring friendship, a fitting sentiment for a piece meant to be passed down. Solid, well-modeled, and full of French Belle Époque character.
