I think this pendant, fingers crossed, could be Amy Sandheim.
I was very lucky to have bought it at a fantastic price. In one of the photo's you can there was damage to the rock crystal a chip at the bottom edge. I sent it to my friend and look at the wonderful job he as done, I can't see the chip.
When I saw the silver work the name that entered into my head was Amy, another name is Sybil Dunlop. I have looked at both their work, the silver work with the berries and the leaf work is very Amy Sandheim. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for looking.
Hope you can find out Jean, it is beautiful!
Yes I hope so Judy, I'll be over the moon if anybody attrib this pendant to Amy Sandheim. Thanks for your comment, as always they are welcome.
Many thanks

Hi Jean, I don't think this is by Sandheim. I have a grape & leaf drop by her, it is pretty dynamic. The grape & leaf mount is big, it overlaps the drop on the sides so the stone swings a little within it. It's set with carnelians & tiger eye (the drop is a huge citrine).
It's the grape & leaf design from this brooch - http://www.tademagallery.com/jewellery/d/amy-sandheim-impressive-celtic-sceptre-brooch/205936
Ahh Jean, I forgot you have a grape & leaf design by Sandheim as well. If you do a comparison, you can see that the Saindheim is better quality.
Hi Jewels1900, thanks for getting back to me.
I've posted photo's of three pendants. The photo on the left is definitely Amy as you say the drop swings also the pendant on the left which we both suspected was Amy's also swings. The middle pendant doesn't have a over lap so doesn't swing. Looking at the rock crystals they are of similar cut the middle pendant is a smaller stone. When I bought this pendant because it had damage to the stone people weren't interested so I got it for a very reasonably price, my friend did a good job in polishing out the knock to the stone. Looking at all three I do see differences with the design of the grapes and leaves, this pendant does have a lot of detail. I know a lot of people made these type of drops, would anybody come to your mind.
It's nice to see you back, I hope you'll be posting soon, take care.
Hi Jean, is that a victorian collar I can spy on your arts & crafts drop?
The third drop is interesting, I've only seen it once before & I suspect it's the same one. And I'm sorry, I don't know who made the middle one.
I've been lurking around but usually I'm either caring for small children or exhausted from caring for small children. I've been collecting though, had a slow start to the year but I've found some more treasures recently, probably because I should be saving for my UK trip (which is in two weeks).
I neglected my children for 10 minutes and took some quick photos of some Sandheim & some newbies which I'll post for you. While I was gone one of my kids squished a strawberry into the lounge - lucky he is divine!
Hi Jewels1900, yes that is a Victorian chain on my Amy Sandheim drop. The third drop I think I got mixed up, I think you said you didn't know who the maker was, I asked a friend and they said that it could be Amy Sandheim
What wonderful collection of drops you have posted on CW and those pendants of Amy Sandheim are gorgeous.
Luckily my children have grown up and flown the nest, I say lucky but I miss them dearly. You enjoy your children because in a flash of an eye they are all grown up and left home. I think back to those days when it was fun and games they used to run me ragged lol.
Are you going anywhere exciting in the U.K. Maybe Newark?
The third one could be Sandheim but it's not a design or construction that I recognise. She was prolific.
I'll go to Kempton and also the markets in Paris.
Oh you lucky thing, do you know I've been all over the world but never been to Paris, that's on my list to do. Any way enjoy your visit to Europe.
How did I miss this post... there are wonderful drops raining all over CW! ;-))
The bookchain is a safe way to support the big Sandheim!
Hi kyra, I only had the middle pendant on this post, I added the 2 others to show Jewels1900. Yep, drop pendants are raining cats and dogs at the moment. Like you Said on another post you would like to get your hands on a couple, I would like to get my hands on some more, l love them. I did look out for them when I went to Newark, but unfortunately nada, oh well maybe you and I will get lucky in the future, fingers crossed.
Hi Jean! Just bought a crystal drop as yours in pic#2 :-)
Look at this crazy price:

Hi kyra, did you buy the rose quartz drop pendant, the silver work was indentical.
Yes these drops are becoming expensive.
I myself have bought a Amy Sandheim lapis and moonstone drop pendant very similar to one of Jewels1900 in her last postings. Look forward to seeing your pendant :-)))
Woohoo! I strive to look at your Sandheim :-)
Mine is a faceted crystal, with leaves and grapes, wide bail. Will post upon arrival!
Looking forward to seeing it. My Sandheim pendant is in the U.K. I'll post when I'm there in October
Many thanks
