Excellent Victorian to Edwardian silver acorn pendant. This is such a wonderful little pendant! Styled into an acorn shape, the cap unscrews from the base revealing a small compartment lined in wood. The cap of the acorn is softly curved and decorated with a beaded design and a lattice pattern to make it look more like an acorn. The base is long and narrow and comes to a soft point.

This pendant dates to the turn of the 20th century and was likely used to hold medications or substances such as snuff or cocaine. Today it would make a wonderful pill container or could be used to hold a token from a loved ones.

Marked 950 and tested as silver. This pendant is 950 parts of 1000 silver, a little higher than the modern standard of 925. The bail of this pendant is brass toned metal.

Measures 3.3 cm / 1.3 inches tall and 1.5 cm / 0.6 inches at widest point.

This pendant is sold without chain. It has small dents and scratches due to age related wear as shown in the photos. This is a rather unique pendant in wonderfully usable condition.
