VINTAGE CAMEO NAUTICAL GOLD SMALL PENDANT NECKLACES

Boat symbolises journeys, adventure or a spiritual voyage, Anchors  represents security, safety and hope

Rare vintage Wedgwood cameo mounted in hand polished yellow gold.

These vintage cameos are some  of the last to be produced by Wedgwood’s Stoke-on-Trent pottery and date from the 1950s- 1980s. The hand made, kiln fired quality makes it slightly irregular and each setting has to be adjusted to fit the setting. No longer produced, each cameo is a collectable piece of historic English art-pottery.

The cameo is mounted in a bespoke solid gold setting suspended from a lightweight gold chain which opens with a bolt and loop closure.

The necklace will be lost wax cast, polished and set by hand by one master craftsperson in London and finally hallmarked in Hatton Garden, London.

Any of the cameos seen in our round Vintage Ceramic Ring collection can be mounted in this setting - please email  customerenquiries@ferian.co.uk  for details.

Ferian's designer Leonie Branston has a special interest in preserving and reframing British crafts so they can be enjoyed and appreciated by a contemporary audience.  At Ferian we are particularly drawn to the vintage Wedgwood cameos dating from the 1950s-80s featuring heraldry, nature and nautical motifs for use in our jewellery. 

Abolitionist, potter, entrepreneur, Josiah Wedgwood revolutionised ceramics. His pioneering spirit transformed a cottage industry into an art form, and his legacy is internationally renowned today. Founded in the 1770s the elegant designs were influenced by classicism, but his pottery though decorative was functional, durable and made to be enjoyed and used by generations. The signature fine matt porcelain — known as Jasperware, was developed after over 10,000 experiments. Many unique colours were created; Dark blue, Portland blue, Lilac and Sage green, but by far the most famous is the Pale blue, a tone recognisable around the world today. The patterned bas-relief motifs were delicately applied by hand then kiln fired. 

The Stoke-on-Trent pottery is now a museum, owned by the Victoria and Albert Museum.
