A beautiful Essex Crystal bluebird pendant dating to c1900.
A slice of mother of Pearl is attached to a dome of rock crystal, reverse carved into a bluebird and painted to give the illusion of a three dimensional image encapsualted in the cabachon.
The bluebird is a symbol of hope, love, positivity and renewal. It symbolises the essence of life and beauty.
The crystal is generously bezel set in 18ct gold with a solid closed back and good sized 18ct jump ring.
A really wonderful addition to any chain collection.
The chain in the photos is not included in the sale.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statement and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy.
