Antique Victorian Pearl Eagle Claw Pendant in 18ct Yellow Gold

A striking and highly detailed eagle’s claw forms the centrepiece of this immensely wearable pendant. Originally an elegant stick pin from the Victorian period, this was designed to take pride of place on the lapel of a jacket. Crafted out of 18ct yellow gold, the claw is defined by intricate black enamel details. The talons secure a creamy lustrous pearl that brings this piece to life. A highly symbolic animal that was popularly used in jewellery, the eagle was known to represent nobility, strength, wisdom, courage and power. In the United States of America, the eagle is the well-known emblem of the nation. Expertly converted in the Pragnell workshops into a stylish pendant, this majestic eagle is complemented by a simple 18ct yellow gold 46cm chain.
