oh gosh, this is a favorite symbolic form, for sure, and it's a rare treat to find one with such intricate, careful details in a dainty size and in excellent condition
until recently this was a hat pin that came in its original case. it seemed to have NEVER been used. so don't write me a letter about preserving antique pieces in their original form. jewelry is made to be WORN! and having a superb design sit idle for more than a century is a waste. it's been newly transformed into a pendant with a double bail and the time-earned bright gold patina has been preserved..
14k yellow gold either carnelian or agate

the 14k hallmark was originally on the pin portion of the stickpin, so it was lost to the conversion process
time-earned bright yellow bloomed patina adding a bright hue and deep contrast to the design details
very minor wear to the stone sphere
this is a vintage item and will show surface scratches, dents, dings, dulling, wear, patina, and signs of having been worn and loved
