A handsome pheasant struts his stuff in this expertly-carved and painted Essex reverse crystal set in 14K yellow gold. The bird is presented against a landscape subtly-colored foliage and mounted on a rail fence setting. Animal jewelry featuring crystals as large as this are increasingly difficult to find. The clasp is marked “14K. Origin: America, ca. 1910. Condition: excellent; all original; no water damage. Dimensions: 2-1/4” x 1”. Weight: 15.6 grams.
