For all you Cancer the Crab horoscope babies!
Really cute antique crab pendant modelled in 15 carat gold.
Hs 'shell' is made from a domed and polished piece of coral, his eyes are tiny faceted dementoid garnets.
His crabby gold claws are set with rose cut garnets, and each of his eight gold legs are set with a rose cut diamond at the base next to the shell.
To the reverse is engraved 'Beatrice' so this piece could be french or european, but I can't find any marks.
Would look great on an albert chain, or a prince of wales rope twist chain (see pic)
