Antique Ostby & Barton OB 10K Gold Edwardian Lavalier Pendant Pink Purple Gemstone Mother of Pearl Drop

Antique Ostby & Barton Edwardian lavalier pendant crafted in genuine 10K gold, showcasing the refined elegance and graceful proportions that made these delicate pendants so desirable during the early twentieth century. Marked "OB 10K" on the bail, this beautifully detailed pendant features an openwork scroll design surrounding a faceted pink-purple gemstone set in an open-backed prong setting that allows light to pass naturally through the stone. Suspended below is a finely carved mother-of-pearl drop, adding soft iridescence, graceful movement, and a beautiful contrast to the warm gold setting.

The pendant measures approximately 1 7/16 inches from the top of the bail to the tip of the mother-of-pearl drop and approximately 3/8 inch at its widest point. It is exceptionally lightweight, weighing less than one gram, making it an elegant pendant for everyday wear on a favorite fine chain. The gemstone has not been gemologically identified, allowing the next owner to evaluate it further if desired. The carved mother-of-pearl dangle remains securely attached beneath its decorative floral cap, and the pendant displays only light surface wear consistent with careful age and use. No chain is included.
