Beautiful antique heart made of carved malachite framed in 14k gold. Initials on the front are "MC" or "CM", also in 14k gold, and the back is plain-- pendant can be worn showing either side! The malachite is mainly a darker green color, with bands of lighter green throughout in the characteristic swirly, abstract pattern. The gold also has a slightly rosy color, typical of older pieces made with different alloys of gold than modern pieces that have gained the antique patina over time. A gorgeous piece that definitely makes a statement. Malachite is said to protect the wearer from negative energies and help heal emotional pain.

Tested 14k, unmarked. In good condition with expected wear for age (over 100 years old!)-- some wear to details on initials.

Size: 1 1/2" x 1 1/8" (length from top of bail)

Chains sold separately.

FAQs

What is gold karat level? ▿

You'll see in all our descriptions a number and then "k" (ex. 14k, 17k, 12k). This indicates the purity level of the gold in the piece, which is the ratio of other metals to gold in the piece. Pure gold, which is not often used in jewelry because it is softer, is 24k. 14k (which is the most common in the U.S.) is 14 parts gold to 10 parts other metals, making up a total of 24 parts. The purity level is also sometimes conveyed as a percentage (ex. 375, 585, 750).

What does estate/vintage/antique mean? ▿

Vintage refers to pieces that are over 20 years old, while antique refers to pieces over 100 years old. We use "estate" to refer to pre-owned pieces that are less than 20 years old or ones we can't determine an exact age for. Vintage and antique pieces can have imperfections or scratches from being owned and worn before. We do our best to document and make clear any imperfections in our photos and listings, and please ask questions before purchasing if there's anything you are unsure about! Product colors may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings, and all measurements are approximate.
