The Complaint Department | Vintage Gold Filled Lion Pendant with Pink Stones

$135.00

Expected delivery date: June 15

Several concerns were raised.

Crafted in gold fill and set with pink stones, this vintage lion pendant carries a surprising amount of character in a remarkably small scale. Cabochon eyes and a faceted stone held between parted jaws bring warmth and expression to the sculpted lion’s face, while the softly worn gold surface gives the piece the feeling of a long-kept personal talisman. Equal parts guardian, mascot, and conversation starter, it’s the sort of charm that tends to choose its wearer.
