Speidel Company is an American company known for its high-quality chains, watch straps, and jewelry. Speidel has been active since the early 20th century, and gold-filled jewelry was especially popular between 1940 and 1970. The pendant is a lightly openwork frame surrounded by petals.
* Jewelry plated with “Gold filled” (GF) technology is many times more durable than standard gold plated jewelry.GF is a patented and very durable type of metal in the USA. GF jewelry is made by layering 2 or 3 metals, one of which is gold, at very high temperatures. “Gold filled” gilding is performed by layering gold around the base metal, forming several layers of pure gold, carefully and several times enveloping the entire product. In this way, gold-plated jewelry does not change from contact with the skin, does not cause allergies, and is not afraid of water.
