This 18k gold soldier-like guard stands at attention. His body is simplified into geometric shapes and detailed with rubies and sapphires of various sizes, all bead set. His face consists of a diamond, which is outlined in white gold to create contrast with the rest of the piece and make the diamond seem even brighter. The piece has great attention to detail, with a matte texture to the guard’s uniform, an adorable helmet and staff, and is encircled by an 18k white gold ring. Ready to be your guard, this little charm reminds us of Buckingham Palace, and can be worn as a playful but protective talisman.

The pendant contains eights natural sapphires that range in size from 1 to 3 mm. It contains four natural rubies that range in size from 1.5 to 3 mm. It contains one natural diamond that measures 1.5 mm across.

The charm measures 1” across, plus an additional 7 mm jump ring. It weighs 5.1 grams. Marked as 18k gold.

Circa 1940.
