As part of the circular economy, this antique item has been pre-treasured and loved. As is typical for an item of this age, there are a few fine scratches on the silver, and an attractive patina that speaks to its history. These characteristics are commensurate with the age of this exquisitely sentimental antique item and do not detract from its overall beauty and charm. Instead, they add to its unique character and authenticity as a genuine piece of history.

This vesta pendant is offered without a chain, allowing the new owner the freedom to pair it with a chain of their choosing. By using an existing chain from your collection, or measuring and obtaining exactly the correct length of chain if a chain is required, we hope this eco-friendly choice conserves mineral resources.

Recommended chains: a Vintage Albert Chain or a Belcher Link Chain
