Just look at this adorable ladybird pendant (or charm if you'd like). Made from 9ct yellow gold, this hollow pendant has some beautiful texturing work done under the wings. The spots on the wings and face have been painted with black enamel and then the body and wings have been painted with a beautiful red enamel.

A perfect gift for a nature lover or gardener, it has the flexibility of being attached to a chain to make a necklace or to a charm bracelet for a cute colourful addition.

CONDITION

Good - Overall this lovely ladybird is in good condition. The main note is that some black enamel has chipped off the eye area (as photographed). I would say this was possibly used as a charm prior. Apart from this, the rest of the enamel is intact and apart from minor scratches consistent with wear, it still presents very well.
