Egyptian Revival 18kt Yellow Gold Pectoral Pendant Necklace
This is a substantial Egyptian Revival style necklace featuring a large rectangular pectoral pendant crafted from 18-karat yellow gold. The total weight is recorded at 69.5 grams. The pendant is characterized by a central hand-engraved scene depicting the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, a palm tree, and a traditional felucca boat. The engraving is set on a textured, matte background framed by polished gold borders. The pendant is suspended from a decorative chain composed of long, polished gold almond-shaped links interspersed with shorter rectangular links that are bezel-set with turquoise and red semi-precious stones (possibly coral or carnelian). The construction is robust, showing high-quality goldsmithing and intricate line work in the central motif. Small hallmarks are visible at the bottom right corner of the pendant face, indicating authentic manufacture, likely from the mid-to-late 20th century. The piece is in excellent condition with minor surface scratches consistent with light wear and a rich, warm gold patina. The weight and gold purity make it a high-value collector's piece of investment-grade jewelry.
