14 k gold Civil War era pendant with original tintype photographs inside. Arriving just prior to the Civil War, tintypes became the favorite way for a soldier to capture his likeness before heading off to battle. The smallest tintypes were called gems because of their tiny size. These tintypes were so small, they were often secreted into lockets and worn by a loved one as a piece of jewelry. This one-of-a-kind, handmade and hand engraved piece features intricate enamel handwork and hangs from a vintage solid 18k gold chain.
