St. George

A sterling silver pendant featuring the classical scene of St. George on horseback confronting the dragon, rendered in raised relief at the center of the piece. The composition is framed by a circular border and surrounded by an openwork floral design, where scrolling motifs and small blossoms form a delicate outer frame.
The central scene is cast in relief, allowing the figures of the horse, rider, and dragon to stand out against a textured background. Surrounding this, the decorative border is pierced and sculpted to create depth and contrast between the solid medallion and the openwork frame. The pendant is formed from sterling silver, finished with a suspension loop for wear as a necklace. The darker tone within the recesses highlights the details of the relief and accentuates the ornamental carving of the frame. Pieces of this style are typically associated with European silver craftsmanship, most commonly produced during the mid-20th century, where historical motifs such as the St. George scene were interpreted in decorative jewellery forms.
