Chepi Pendant
Chepi Pendant
A calming and feminine looking pendant, Chepi is ready to be in your jewelry collection. Even though she’s a modestly sized pendant, she brings a lot of movement. She has petals carved at the bottom that reminds me of petticoats. She also has swirly gold decoration across her perimeter.
Dating this piece was tough. It was sold to me as Arts and Crafts, but her daintier details kept me at pause. Dating to be as Victorian, I found a similar larger piece that was sold at an auction a few years ago. I cannot confirm, but I do like to think this was a respectful piece and a nod to Native Americans or Indigenous People.
