An antique 9ct gold pendant featuring rich blue enamel to the front, set with an applied 9ct gold crest of the Gibraltar coat of arms. Beneath the crest is the Latin motto “Montis Insignia Calpe” — translating to “Badge of the Rock of Gibraltar” — adding historic depth and heraldic significance to the piece.
The combination of vibrant enamel and raised gold detailing creates excellent contrast and dimension, giving the pendant strong visual presence.
The reverse features a bezel-set glass compartment, providing space to store a small keepsake or memento — a charming and unusual Edwardian feature.
Presented in lovely antique condition, with enamel bright and detailing crisp. A distinctive heraldic piece with both decorative and sentimental appeal.
