It is like the brooches that I have listed - but this one was designed as a pendant necklace. It has its original silver chain with ring and hoop closure. The chain is a good length to it - and it 20 inches in length. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has an Edinburgh Assay Offce silver hallmark for the year 1976, and with the maker's stamp: CG (for Caithness Glass). It is in lovely condition and is inset with a feature miniature millefiori Caithness glass paperweight in the center. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pendant is 4 cm in diameter. It is in good condition with no damage. The little miniature paperweight inclusion is scratch-free and with no chips - the catch is a ring closure (as photographed).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy lovely vintage Scottish brooch will be sent to you in lovely clean condition (I will give it a nice polish before packing so that it is all gleaming for you). It does not have its original Caithness box - but will be send to you in an attractive block flock box (with hinged lid).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage will be with Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel).

He had been making small ‘stones’ and setting them into cheap jewel fittings as presents for friends and family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaithness Glass saw the commercial potential in them and put Colin Terris in charge of further development. The range was officially launched in December 1970. Colin Terris designed a range of brooches and pendants inspired by traditional Scottish designs (such as the Luckenbooth shape) and hired Lucia Polanski as jewellery designer; she produced the rings, earrings, and cufflinks designs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56230836240763,"sku":"Pink Drawers in Yellow Room","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/vintage-1970s-silver-hallmarked-cross-pendant-with-caithness-glass-paperweight-miniature-scottish-jewellery-681.webp?v=1781484193","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/boxed-vintage-1970s-silver-hallmarked-cross-shaped-brooch-with-caithness-glass-paperweight-miniature-copy","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
