Heraldic Laurel - SOLD - 4
cm x 6.5 cm
| This medallion has the form of a Renaissance
gem, in an engraved sterling silver setting, decorated with pendant
pearls. Personal heraldry adds a unique detail to the cloisonné.
This medallion was a custom order; I enjoy devising various ways
to add heraldic detail to peerage medallions. A similar piece
would cost around $285. |
