Look through the little round porthole on one side, and you'll see a set of magnified images: scenes from the British Empire Exhibition of 1924. The exhibition took place of the course of three months, located at Wembley Park in London, inspired by Britain's unease on the world stage post WW1 with the rise of two new powers: Japan and the USA. In 1917 Britain had committed itself eventually to leave India, which effectively signalled the end of the British Empire to anyone who thought about the consequences, while the Dominions had shown little interest in following British foreign policy since the war (source: Wikipedia). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese charming little Stanhopes (or Stanho-scopes, as they were also known) were all-the-rage during the latter half of the 19th century, and into the early 20th.

It dates from the 1970s, the main panel - crafted in platinum - depicts a Scottish landscape, beautifully coloured, with silver dove flying in the foreground. It's signed Titanium. Dust. to the reverse and offered on a fine silver chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust was founded off the back of a chance meeting, in 1974, on a flight from Vancouver to Montreal. John Flegg and Norman Grant immediately hit it off, realising they were both ready for a new challenge, and two years later they founded Dust Jewellery. In Flegg's own words: \"Norman had been running a craft jewellery business and Dust Jewellery put technology behind it\". Their most notable innovation was in the use of titanium, and they quickly became world leaders in small-scale titanium work. During the late '60s, Grant revitalised the Scottish jewellery scene, working out of his garden shed, and riding the wave of the Swinging Sixties, he created playful, colourfully enamelled pieces inspired by Scottish coastal landscapes and works from the Art Nouveau movement. But with Dust, the pair took a giant leap forward: adapting photo-etching to suite the jewellery medium, installing German finishing equipment, and refining their casting techniques. Titanium is extremely difficult to work with, being harder than steel and lighter than aluminium, but the results can be spectacular - and Flegg and Grant relished the technological challenge. Their pieces use simple, stylised forms with subjects borrowed from the natural world, often worked in 3D and using anodised titanium, along with silver and enamel, to striking effect. Clients included the likes of Billy Connolly and Elton John, and queen Elizabeth used a silver Swan Vestas matchbox made by the company to light the first of the 1977 Jubilee Bonfires. Flegg and Grant generously shared information about the technology and techniques they used, giving demonstrations and presenting seminars across the country, and their workshop doors were open to anyone interested in their craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Vintage, 1970s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 3.7cm by 3.1cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChain: 17.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarks: Signed Titanium Dust\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Great vintage condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Owl Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040801276216,"sku":"LO1112","price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7387\/2952\/products\/1970s-titanium-landscape-pendant-by-dust-508507.jpg?v=1696030908"},{"product_id":"vintage-athena-cameo-pendant","title":"Vintage Athena Cameo Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vintage silver cameo pendant depicting Athena. Athena was goddess of Wisdom and War. As a warrior goddess and protector of cities, she was closely associated with Nike, goddess of victory - although, unlike the war god Ares, she had no interest in violence for its own sake (her wisdom part on full display here). She represented a more 'civilised' or 'intellectual' side of war - her virtues of justice and skill - in sharp contrast with Ares, the least respected of the twelve Olympian gods, who represented blood-lust and brute force. She was the goddess of good council, to kings and warrior-heroes alike, encouraging prudent restraint and practical insight.
