This little paste pendant is a a tiny globe of deep red light wrapped in warm gold. It glows softly from within, helped along by its antique foil backing which gives the colour that dreamy, candlelit richness. The scalloped gold bezel gives it a little character while keeping the shape clean and unfussy and the closed back has that smooth, timeworn look you expect from nineteenth century work. It’s a small, pretty piece that adds a touch of colour to a stack and holds its own beautifully on a fine chain.
