Vintage 1988 9ct Gold Painted Bird Glass Locket Necklace
Description
This charming late 20th-century pendant features a finely hand-painted bird study, rendered in delicate naturalistic tones on a circular canvas panel. The bird is shown perched on a leafy branch, painted with a softness and attention to detail that recalls traditional natural history illustrations and folk art. Signed by the artist, the miniature painting brings a sense of individuality and quiet character to the piece.
The artwork is housed within a pierced 9ct gold frame, its scalloped edge adding gentle texture and depth without distracting from the painted scene. The warm tone of the gold complements the colours of the bird and foliage, while the pendant’s proportions make it easy to wear daily or layer with other pieces. This is a thoughtful blend of craftsmanship and sentiment, where painting and jewellery meet.
