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.
