Antique Victorian Crane Pendant | Sterling Silver Aesthetic Japonesque Bird Necklace c1880
type: Product
description: Beautifully engraved with a graceful crane, this antique sterling silver pendant perfectly captures the spirit of the Victorian Aesthetic Movement. Inspired by the growing fascination with Japanese art during the late nineteenth century, jewellers embraced elegant wading birds and naturalistic designs, creating pieces that celebrated beauty, harmony and fine craftsmanship. The finely hand-engraved decoration, delicate beaded border and distinctive turret-style frame combine to create a charming example of this celebrated artistic movement. Delicate yet full of character, this little pendant is perfect for everyday wear or layering with other antique treasures. Its petite proportions suggest it was originally an earring, thoughtfully converted into a pendant, and we have paired with a new Italian sterling silver fine trace chain, adjustable to 16 or 18 inches, so it arrives ready to wear. Pieces of this style rarely survive complete, making converted examples such as this a wonderful way to enjoy Victorian craftsmanship as wearable jewellery today. DETAILS~ METAL: Sterling silver PENDANT SIZE: 3cm x 2cm (1⅛ x ¾ inch) CHAIN: New Italian sterling silver trace chain, adjustable 41–45cm (16–18 inches) HALLMARK: Pendant none; professionally tests as sterling silver.
