Pair of latticed glass gold pendants (one now missing [M 6524]). The survivor being oval 2.4cm long with loop. A cabochon blue glass setting latticed with marvered trails of glass, white striped diagonally with translucent blue. White striped diagonally with translucent brown. Enclosed in a plain glod collar with beaded wire edging and plain gold backplate, and suspended from a loop with longitudinally ribbed loop (engraved or chased not die stamped) clipped over at front with pointed terminal at back.This is little worn except slightly in beaded frame, but the pendant is very light and would perhaps not have been damaged in consequence by suspension on necklace. The beaded wire frame is very slightly worn as is top of loop, but nothing to speak of. The gold is yellow though rather pale, with reddish spots.Lab results: AuAgCuBack62353Collar60382Beaded rim45532Loop57403
