This is such a pretty 15ct gold and silver pendant that was made circa 1910. In the centre is chalcedony cut en cabochon set in 15ct yellow gold. Around it are green enamelled laurel leaves interspersed with rose diamonds set in silver. Above is a rose diamond set bow with a diamond set loop. The symbol of the laurel wreath goes back to Ancient Greece. In Greek mythology, the god Apollo, who is patron of lyrical poetry and musical performance was conventionally depicted wearing a laurel wreath on his head. In Rome the laurel leaf crowns were symbols of martial victory. Napoleon also adopted the laurel leaf when he was victorious in battle in the 1800s. What wonderful symbolic meanings in this sweet pendant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
