This is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE RELIGIOUS PENDANT that was HANDMADE during the 1920s from 18K GOLD.  It ORIGINATES from FRANCE (has stamp on bale) and is SIGNED RUFFONY (lower left) with other initials (lower right).  RUFFONY was an Italian Sculptor working in Paris who died in 1925.  The pendant displays a RELIEF of a BAPTISMAL SCENE with one WINGED ADULT FEMALE & ONE MALE ADULT.  The pendant is finely detailed with PLIQUE A JOUR ENAMEL of BLUE SKY, a RUST & GREEN FLOWER in the center and a GOLDEN HALO over the male.  The pendant is framed with NATURAL PEARLS and it measures 7/8” in diameter.  There is one small ROSE CUT DIAMOND at the top center.  The back has a personal engraving that reads Sara Alicia 31.V.1923.  This engraving is not deep so it can most likely be polished away for your own personalized inscription.  The total weight is 3.8 grams.  ONE OF A KIND...FINEST QUALITY...A RARE SCENE!

*A NOTE ABOUT OUR PHOTOGRAPHY – Taking pictures of diamonds to be displayed on a computer screen can be difficult, often resulting in the diamonds looking dark (especially rose cut diamonds) when in reality they are not. If you are looking at any of our pictures and feel that the diamonds look dark, please refer to the description of the item that states the accurate color and clarity of the stones.

 

Also, jewelry and/or diamond grading is done under 10X magnification. When you super-size our photos you will see the item in 100X magnification. Please be aware that you may see things that cannot be seen with your eyes or a jeweler’s loupe. Sometimes these magnified images can make the item look distorted or appear to have problems when in reality it is fine. I list only high quality pieces and avoid those with problems or in need of repair unless it is described as such in the listing. If you are seeing something that you are not sure of, please inquire about it.  

 

LAYAWAY: Mels Antique Jewelry offers an interest-free payment plan.  You can pay as you like, but we want the item paid off within 4 months. The first payment must be at least 20% of the purchase price.  If interested, please inquire for further details prior to making a purchase.  


REFUND POLICY: The buyer has the right to a refund should the item not be suitable.  The item must be promptly returned in its original condition without damage, alteration, repair or signs of wear when examined under a 10x jewelers loupe.  Buyer is responsible for return shipping fees unless we have mistakenly misrepresented the item.

 

I realize there is risk on the buyer’s side when bidding on an expensive jewelry item. If you would feel more comfortable speaking to me in person before bidding on an item, I welcome all calls. We are not in the business to cheat or fool people and are here to answer any of your questions.  PLEASE CHECK MELS ANTIQUE JEWELRY EBAY FEEDBACK!
