A striking vintage Italian figural pendant featuring a crowned Blackamoor head carved in dark ebony and accented with solid 18K gold details. The figure wears a finely textured gold crown, a single hoop earring, and a decorative collar, giving the piece a regal presence despite its compact size.
Blackamoor jewelry has long been associated with the historic goldsmithing traditions of Venice, where artisans crafted highly detailed figural pieces in gold paired with carved wood, ebony, or gemstones. These pieces remain collectible today for their craftsmanship and distinctive style.
This pendant is crafted in 18K gold, with Italian hallmarks including 750 and maker’s initials LM, indicating Italian production. The carved head is topped with an elegant crown, and the gold collar adds additional decorative detail.
The pendant wears beautifully on a necklace or charm holder and also works well as a substantial charm on a bracelet.
Please note: the figure currently has one hoop earring remaining, and the crown sits slightly askew from wear, which is reflected in the pricing.
