THE LION'S FANG!! | ANTIQUE TOOTH TALISMAN PENDANT.
A striking antique lion tooth pendant, full of old-world character, natural beauty and a fascinating sense of history!
Beautifully curved and tapering to a sharp, elegant point, the creamy ivory-coloured tooth displays subtle natural markings and a lovely aged patina. It is finished with a simple yet handsome sterling silver cap and suspension bail, allowing it to be worn as a bold statement pendant.
A LITTLE HISTORY: During the 19th century, jewellery incorporating natural curiosities, including animal teeth and claws, became fashionable among collectors and travellers.
Such pieces reflected the Victorian fascination with the natural world, exploration and unusual keepsakes.
THE SYMBOLISM: The lion has long been associated with courage, strength, leadership and protection. Lion teeth were traditionally regarded in various cultures as powerful talismans, symbolising the bravery and commanding spirit of this magnificent animal.
The pendant has a wonderfully tribal-inspired, adventurous aesthetic, equally suited to a rustic leather cord or a substantial silver chain.
