French 18ct Gold & Carved Amethyst Pendant of an Owl

235S
440 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

The owl has a wonderful meaning. It is a light wise symbol as it can see in the dark. It was also considered a wise and prophetic bird since Roman and Greek times. This little chap has been beautifully carved out of a piece of amethyst and mounted in 18ct gold. He was made circa 1920-1940.
