[Phenomenal! 1928 Detailed Weighty 18k gold medallion pendant with blue enamel - by WA Bolin
Made by the Swedish royal court jeweler, WA Bolin (aka House of Bolin), this is one special pendant! This would have been a gift from the Swedish court.
The House of Bolin, Swedish court jewelers date back to the 1890s. House of Bolin were on par with their contemporaries, Cartier and Faberge, well known for the highest caliber craftsmanship and quality.
Beautifully crafted, this solid cast 18k gold undulating oval form is decorated in relief with seven 5 petaled flowers in a wreath tied with bow. At the center we see script initials surrounded by a perfect oval of blue enamel. A sturdy bail holds the heavy pendant, mounted with a dimensional gold bow.
The reverse side of this weighty piece is engraved and has full Swedish marks for maker, gold purity, location, and year. Swedish engraving Ina Berggren For 21 Ars Trogen Tianst 19 10/12 30 [ translation: Ina Berggren, for 21 years of faithful service December 10, 1930]
Pendant is solid 18k gold and measures approximately 1.75 inches long (44mm x 23mm) and weighs a hefty 14.93g! This piece is exceptional in excellent vintage condition.

Customer Reviews
I saw it. I fell in love with it. I had to have it. With a short text and a phone call to Jill, it became mine. I truly did not think that it would be possible for me to wear this beautiful piece as the original rolo-link chain that the stone hung from was only 16.5 inches in length. I needed at least a 20 inch chain. Undaunted, Jill told me that she would look for a longer chain in the same rolo-link style but with a lobster clasp that I prefer. Not long after I received a video showcasing the longer chain that Jill had found to replace the original shorter one. Jill’s video contained dialogue with close-ups of the chain as she dangled it over and through her fingers. After giving her my enthusiastic approval, I had the pendant on the new longer chain within a day or two, and it was perfect. I wore my beautiful quartz pendant for the first time on Mother’s Day and received several compliments on it. Thank you, Jill, for making my wish come true. ❤️
