Georgian Period

Three early 19th century Italian Punchinello pendants carved from coral, with a 9ct gold solid bolt ring bail.

All the pendants have different expressions and features making them completely unique!

The three pendants hang from a large 9ct gold bolt ring, which makes it easy to add to a necklace, and to switch the pendants out to create different looks.

A punchinello was a type of clown from Italian burlesque or puppet shows, and was the prototype of Punch (& Judy).

This type of characters earliest document use was 1662.

They were mischievous characters full or expression.
