About the Item

Imbued with classical symbolism and turn-of-the-century artistry, this exquisite 14k gold pendant began its life as an antique stickpin (circa 1900-1910) before being thoughtfully transformed by our jeweler into a wearable work of art. The pendant features a finely carved shell cameo depicting Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep, repose, and dreams — a powerful motif representing tranquility and the restorative power of rest. A single sparkling diamond accent enhances the composition, lending a touch of light to the serene figure. The piece measures 1.1 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom by 0.75 inches wide and is presented in excellent condition. The metal content has been verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring the authenticity and quality of the gold. A rare and poetic jewel, this pendant seamlessly blends mythological symbolism with Edwardian-era elegance — a meaningful addition to any curated collection of antique fine jewelry. Materials: 14k gold, Shell, Diamond.
