    Do you remember my precedent post?

    Seller cancelled the sale and refunded...
    Her argument was "stone have an issue, prefer to have it checked before selling! Thought it was man made stones!
    I suspected she had regrets selling it for cheap...
    Arguing I had to be the only judge on this as selling was a contract, I was able to buy it again same day!
    Finaly arrived!

    Pics are mine, natural light.
    No marks at all, not have it tested for now, but my feelings are at least 14k gold.
    A nice 19 grams weight, pendant itself is 5.5 cm long (2.3/16"), 3.2 cm wide (1.5").
    Moonstones are magnificently glowing!

    Mystery is who made it?
    Specialists help needed ;-)

      Great score! The placement of the little balls is quite distinctive, and what lovely moonstones. I think you may have got yourself a Christmas present from Henry George Murphy.
    5. kyratango kyratango, 9 years ago
      Kiwipaul, arts and craft is a relatively new area for me,
      I can identify the period and authenticity, but a lot of makers are out of my knowledge.

      Thank you so much for id !
      I'm delighted with this new buy, wearing it just now :-)
    6. kiwipaul kiwipaul, 9 years ago
      Well H G Murphy is a top name and that is a beautiful necklace so you should be delighted, it is a rare and valuable piece. Congratulations on spotting it and then persevering with the seller to finalise the deal. Hope she never reads these posts!
    7. BelleEpoque BelleEpoque, 9 years ago
      Wow, it's much prettier than it looked. I think you made a super deal! And must be from a goog maker, the quality is lovely.
    8. HeirloomAngel HeirloomAngel, 9 years ago

      What an extraordinary piece! I'm so glad someone "loved" it recently as otherwise I would have missed this. Utterly magical, and I love seeing the construction of the back. Wow!!
    32. kyratango kyratango, 1 year ago
      Thank you Rhineisfine :-D
      The construction of the back was a telltale for the quality, even from the listing bad pics, as was the ornate closure!
    33. rhineisfine rhineisfine, 1 year ago
      Sometimes bad pics are our friend because other potential buyers lose interest... allowing us to come along and snarfle the piece ;) A couple of my best finds have been "bad pic" buys. Congratulations!
    34. kyratango kyratango, 1 year ago
      Can't agree more! Bad pics plus wrong key words in the title! Lol!
    35. kyratango kyratango, 1 year ago
      Pic from the listing, the #1...
      I asked additional for back and closure...
