10k Yellow Gold Green Malachite "Man in the Moon" Carved Face Pendant

For sale is a 10k yellow gold pendant with malachite.  The pendant is an antique watch fob that was repurposed at some point into a pendant.  The pendant features a round malachite gemstone that has been carved with a "man in the moon" moon-face.  The malachite is vibrant kelly green swirled with darker forest green.  The malachite has been carefully carved with attention to each facial detail.  The "moon face" is serene and peaceful, almost as if it is sleeping.  The malachite is secure in a hand-crafted bezel setting. The bezel-setting is decorated with pyrope, or twisted rope textured edging.  The pendant has an articulated bail to accommodate your chain. This is a very unusual, well-crafted pendant.  It would be appropriate for either a man or a woman.  You are unlikely to see a similar piece again for years to come!

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
