Chinese Gambling Counter and Moonstone pendant

An 18th-century Chinese gambling counter forms the centerpiece of this exquisite pendant, celebrating both history and artistry. Originally carved from mother-of-pearl and used as gaming tokens among the European aristocracy, these counters were prized for their intricate engraving and refined beauty. Here, the antique piece is artfully set in richly textured gold and accented with moonstones and pearls arranged in a graceful spoke pattern that enhances its luminous surface. Finished with a slender hinged bale that clips easily onto a necklace, this pendant embodies the timeless elegance and rich heritage that define Elizabeth Locke Jewels.
