The intaglio is held within a smooth and simple bezel setting, and the emerald displays a light green hue. The top of the piece features a complementary bail, which would allow the piece to easily attach to a favorite gold chain. A unique and eye-catching pedant, this piece would make a lovely addition to any intaglio collection!
Measurements: The pendant hangs just over 1 5/8" long, is 1" wide and has a depth of 1/4".
