Curiously timeless
Stunning French Antique 18K gold diamond enameled cherub pocket watch pendant
Let’s embrace the comeback of the refined and decorative antique pendant watches, which are functional as well as beautiful.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, guilloché and other types of enamel decorated the front of pendant watches, which often resembled lockets and featured sentimental, floral, hunting and pictorial scenes. These timepieces are versatile in that they act as both a piece of ornate and often colorful jewelry and a mechanical device that is highly fashionable.
In front of us a beautiful example of the French made pocket watch dated back to the late 19th century / beginning of the 20th century. The front of the watch features a sweet enameled cherub, surrounded by flowers illuminated by 5 rose cut diamonds. Cherub and cupid jewelry boomed in the Georgian and Victorian eras as a sentimental symbol of love, which makes the pendant watch very special. The back exposes the numerals of the watch, which is revised recently and works perfectly. The watch has a mechanical movement requiring manual winding.
There are myriad ways in which to style this beautiful pocket watch: it can be attached to brooches, hung from a ribbon around the neck or mixed with other fobs on a long chain to create a more unique, unstudied look.
Make this stunning pocket watch your next timeless treasure in life.

Chère Jade,
Quelle magnifique surprise que cette bague! La recevoir m'a fait énormément plaisir. Vous avez fait preuve d'une grande attention aux petits détails, et cela se voit. Le colis était joliment emballé et a été expédié rapidement. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la réactivité de votre communication ainsi que le petit mot et les délicieux biscuits qui l'accompagnaient, quel régal!
Encore une fois, un grand merci pour votre professionnalisme et à bientôt!
This is the most beautiful pendant/charm in my collection. The way the enamel catches the light is *chefs kiss*. Great customer service and the shipping was so fast! Such an amazing piece. It was wrapped beautifully. Will definitely be buying from this shop again :))
Be still my heart, this ring is breathtakingly elegant!
Jade has been kind, helpful, and professional from the very first message I’d sent her. She promptly sent me pictures of 2 rings worn together on her finger so I could decide whether they would make a nice bridal set. When I received my package, she had everything wrapped up so pretty, and she had included a pack of Bonne Maman cookies I had grown up eating (I am a French expat).
I have found the one and only place I ever want to purchase my jewelry from, and I definitely hope I get to meet Jade in person on my next trip home 🇫🇷!).
Merçi Jade, de tout mon cœur 💍
