Antique Bell Repurposed Wreath Pendant Handle, Simulated Emerald, 2.5, 18g

This is a rare and unusual convertible collector's piece - a decorative bell assembled from a detachable antique pendant likely c. The pendant is non-magnetic, likely gilt brass or gold-filled, and was later hand-mounted to a magnetic gold-tone steel bell dome during the 1930s-1950s. The bell includes its original forged clapper and rings clearly. The pendant handle can be safely removed, making this a dual-function item : it serves as both a charming holiday bell and a wearable or restorable pendant.

The casting quality and soldering suggest artisan assembly, not mass production. The wreath pendant is fully removable and may be restored or worn separately - a rare crossover between Victorian jewelry and decorative bellmaking. Height (assembled): 2.5 inches. Total Weight: 18.42 grams.

Pendant Handle: Gilt brass or gold-filled (acid-tested; not solid gold). Stone: Simulated emerald (early glass cabochon or possibly real emerald).

Bell Dome: Magnetic gold-tone steel. Clapper: Original round ball, hand-mounted. Condition: Excellent antique with mild patina and wear; no damage or repair.
