Pair of gold pendants set with cabochon amethysts, length with loops 1.7cm. Oval, with amethysts set in simple gold collars with beaded wire border: loops ribbed and pointed at back. A matched pair made by same hand. Gold rather pale yellow. Very little worn, but loops slightly torn at side of top (the Faussett gold chain?). Slight ware on beading.Lab results (M6526) AuAgCuBack67303Collar67303Loop67303Lab results (M6527) AuAgCuBack & Loop52453Collar46522Beaded rim71281
