High bid $900.00
Status: Sold
A finely crafted 10-karat yellow gold pendant depicting a sled dog standing atop a rugged outcropping formed from natural Alaskan placer gold nuggets. The polished canine figure, with its curled tail and alert stance, evokes the enduring heritage of Alaska's working dogs and the state's rich gold mining tradition. The contrast between the smooth gold dog and the irregular texture of the nugget base creates a striking presentation characteristic of classic Alaskan jewelry. The pendant measures approximately 1" in length and is suspended from an 18" 14-karat yellow gold chain. The pendant weighs approximately 10.11 grams, while the accompanying chain weighs approximately 3.77 grams.
