Exquisite Antique Silver Galleon Pendant – Renaissance Revival
A truly captivating piece, this antique silver pendant features a finely detailed galleon or sailing ship, crafted in the romantic spirit of the Renaissance revival. Entirely handmade, the ship seems to “sail” with the wearer—its delicate design gracefully moving with every step.
The masts are adorned with enamel-filled sails in luminous white, bordered by intricate silver rigging. Beneath the hull, three small silver balls dangle playfully, adding charm and movement. Rich enamel accents in shades of blue, turquoise, and amber remain vivid, testifying to the quality of the craftsmanship.
At the top, a regal crest with fan-shaped enamel details completes the piece, evoking an era of courtly opulence. It is easy to imagine this jewel adorning one of Marie Antoinette’s extravagant coiffures—she would have surely coveted such a treasure.
A hidden loop at the back allows it to be worn as a pendant on a chain or ribbon, and with the addition of a pin, it can also serve as a brooch.
A rare and enchanting jewel, full of fantasy and elegance—an unforgettable addition to any collection.
