AN ANTIQUE EMERALD AND SPINEL PENDANT
Carved emerald, hexagonal-shaped table-cut spinel, foil, gold, drilled lug for suspension, 7/8 in., late 18th century

Specialist note

The drilled lug on the emerald suggests that this pendant was originally part of a larger setting. Through the spinel, there is deterioration visible near the foil, perhaps indicating that a pigment was applied to enhance the stone's color.
