18k gold Swedish medal for “Zealous and Devoted Service of the Realm”

Perhaps you have devoted yourself zealously to some type of service? If so, you may wish to honor yourself with a gold medal!

An 18k gold medal from the Swedish state awarded for “Zealous and Devoted Service of the Realm”. The first known awarding took place in 1830.

One side of this gold medal has a portrait in relief of King Gustaf in profile, the reverse side with text. A royal crown of solid gold sits atop the medal.

The Swedish government has a tradition of awarding medals for a variety of achievements for instance: Courage, Civic Virtue, Wounded in Battle, and my favorite, Diligent Reindeer Husbandry.

This medal would have been awarded to someone after 30 years of public service. Typically it would have been mounted to a ribbon, in the formal military style, but this one has been converted to a pendant for daily wear. I love that it didn’t just collect dust in a case all these years - it’s been worn to a wonderful soft patina and has lots of life left.

18K Gold Citrine Pendant

I actually purchased this lovely citrine pendant not too long ago over the phone speaking directly with Jill, the owner of Penelope Penelope. This is how she and I do business nowadays. As well as this pendant, I have purchased many, many other beautiful vintage pieces from her over the past 2+ years, and plan on continuing to do so in the future as I find her pieces to be uniquely beautiful, well-made, and fairly priced. Every piece that I have gotten from Jill has been "exactly" as pictured in her photos. I appreciate how Jill provides the buyer with visual perspective...necklaces draped over fingertips, bracelets worn on wrists, pendants looped onto chains and worn with blouses or sweaters. Her videos are also very helpful when deciding on a piece as one can see how it moves when touched or when in contact with the skin. If this isn't enough, her written descriptions of the pieces will seal the deal. I appreciate that she includes the weight in grams as well as the exact measurements of each piece. On a few occasions I have asked her to take additional photos or to model a prospective piece for me, and she always obliges. Her customer service is impeccable. Items arrive UPS, some delivered behind locked gates and the more expensive items requiring a signature. I usually receive my items from Jill within 2 to 3 days, and she always includes a brief note in which she expresses her gratitude for my purchase and support. "FIVE-star Plus" is my review rating for Jill and her store Penelope Penelope.

Rounded triangle pendant

The pendant may have come earlier, but I retrieved it yesterday evening …. and I L O V E it! Here you can see it on the rounded box chain which complements the rounded triangle of the pendant. How wonderful is that! It’s like “They were meant to go together.” Because they are both 18 K gold, the color-match is perfect. Once again, Jill, we hit the bull’s eye dead center. What more can I say but, once again, “Thank you.” You’re absolutely the best.

Received my star sapphire pendant and it was more beautiful than described- I had been wanting a star sapphire for a while and was a little hesitant about purchasing from a facebook ad - but after a little research, I crossed my fingers and took the plunge -so glad I did - quick, wonderful packaging - will keep my eye out for other treasures and will not hesitate to order from again - highly recommend.

So special

I bought a really unique piece (the thicker “honey comb” faucet necklace in the photo) from this site and I always get compliments when I wear it.
I hadnt bought expensive jewelry from an Insta account before and so I was a little hesitant. It arrived fast and was as high quality as described. I would deff buy another piece again from her. Shes been fast to respond when Ive had questions on other items and I enjoy following her posts - I appreciate her love of textiles and textures that match my own ❤️

Each Wedge Bag is made with an interior key ring that is perfect to clip your keys so that you never lose them again.

Also works great with one of my leather leashes to connect a zipper pouch or anything else you like to keep at hand.
