A cool Victorian gold shark tooth pendant, dating from circa 1880.
The shark tooth would have most likely come from a hammerhead shark or a tiger shark, and it has been set in gold to be worn as a pendant. The gold is engraved with crosshatched detailing.
In Victorian England, jewellery set with exotic animal teeth was more than just a status symbol - it was thought that when worn as a charm, the teeth imparted the animal’s strength, speed and cunning to the wearer.
The pendant measures 2cm by 1.2cm (excluding the bail). It weighs 1.11 grams. The pendant is stamped with a French ‘clover’ control mark to indicate that it was crafted in 9K gold and imported into the country, probably from England.
