An early 20th century Liberty Style Jugendstil / Art Nouveau 9ct gold and turquoise pendant, with period 9ct gold chain. In the manner of Murrle Bennett & Co. Marked ‘9c’ in a lozenge shaped punch to the reverse, and also marked ‘9ct’ to the push clasp. Set with a turquoise matrix stone to the centre, flanked by 6 raised studs. The maker is unknown, but the design is heavily based upon a known Murrle Bennett design (in silver) from circa 1910. The pendant measures 2.2cm top to bottom, and has a width of 1.6cm. The chain length is 16 inches. Condition: generally excellent. Much like many gold pendants from the era, the 9ct gold has been plated with a higher carat gold to give it brighter appearance. This is evident to the reverse, where the base 9ct rose gold can seen, with traces of the higher carat plating giving it a more golden appearance.
