Rare & beautiful 18K gold antique horse race pendant

In front of us an intricate, colorful and rare enameled pendant, featuring a fierce horse race.

We see this pendant as an ultra refined work of art thanks to the beautiful hand painting which allows to trace the precise fine lines of the horses, their masters and the audience on the second plan. The lacquered coating makes the enamelling panel very brilliant and smooth. We appreciate the combination of the different colors used such as the deep sky blue, grass green, pink, white and brown. The enamel panel is dated back to the Victorian era, which our jeweler mounted beautifully in 18K yellow gold. 

Horse racing is one of the favorited sportive motifs in the antique jewelry. The subject reflects the diversity and the important role it plays in people life by the 1890s, which is considered as the prime factor affecting the value of this beautiful pendant.

The painting on this pendant depicts the strength and beauty of the horses, as well as the courage and the willingness to win, shown by their masters.

We believe that this extraordinary pendant will be a wonderful piece of jewelry to add into your collection. It will also make a sweet gift for anyone who loves horse riding.
