Tiny Antique Russian Egg Pendant black opal The bail has been reinforcedDATE: Imperial Russian, c. 1900 The Imperial Russian egg pendants we come across are usually 'miniature', but this one's the tiniest we've ever seen (12 x 8mm). It's finished in beautiful dark turquoise guilloch enamel over 14k gold, with Russian 56z marks on the jump ring. Naturally the craftsmanship is exquisite, and it's particularly exciting to find such a small example. MEASUREMENTS 12. 0 x 8. 0mm (not including jump ring) WEIGHT 1. 5g MARKS 56
