In French jewellery and medallic design, the bicorne became a compact symbol of Napoleonic memory: military ambition, imperial France, national mythology, and one of the most recognisable figures in French history. Even today, the silhouette of Napoleon’s hat remains an immediate visual shorthand for the man himself.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe pendant is crafted in 18K gold, with a small platinum-set detail to the front, accented with tiny rose-cut diamonds and a cabochon amethyst. The form is cleverly worked in three dimensions, with the folded brim of the hat giving it real sculptural character despite its small scale. It would originally have been worn as a charm or pendant, and sits well as a small historical jewel on a fine chain.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe piece is struck with the French eagle-head hallmark for 18K gold.
