Antique Georgian 18K Gold Orb Pendant
This exquisite Georgian orb pendant is crafted from rich 18K yellow gold and showcases the timeless beauty of granulation. Adorned with tiny gold beads applied through heat—without visible solder—the surface is delicately textured, creating a subtle yet captivating shimmer. Granulation decorates not only the orb itself but also the original bale, which has been remarkably well preserved through time.
The pendant’s smooth, rounded form and warm buttery gold give it an irresistibly charming presence, both refined and endearingly sweet. Its generously sized bale accommodates a variety of chains, offering versatile styling options—from fine antique chains to modern links.
Granulation, an ancient technique practiced since Etruscan times, experienced a revival in the Georgian era alongside Cannetille work. Pieces surviving with such intact detailing are rare, making this pendant a special treasure for collectors and lovers of historic jewelry.
A beautiful fusion of history, craftsmanship, and elegance—perfect for the one who treasures artistry in miniature.
