This unusual large 1960s circular medallion pendant and accompanying yellow gold necklace are made of 9ct yellow gold with a polished golden finish. The circular pendant features detailed engraved imagery of Caernarvon Castle, accompanied by inscribed lettering reading Prince of Wales Investiture Caernarvon 1969 around the perimeter. A suspension loop attaches the medallion to a delicate fine chain necklace. The piece exhibits general usage wear consistent with age, alongside an overall clean appearance. The pendant measures 3.5 cm high, 3.5 cm wide, and 0.5 cm deep. Jewellery items of this type are typically worn as personal accessories or collected as commemorative pieces relating to historical royal events. When not being worn, such a pendant can be displayed on a vanity table, stored safely inside a jewellery box, or kept within a private collection. The traditional gold colour and historical subject matter suit both everyday wear and formal occasions, offering a tangible connection to the 1969 royal investiture.

FAQs

Royal investiture jewellery consists of commemorative items produced to mark formal ceremonies, such as the 1969 Investiture of the Prince of Wales at Caernarvon Castle. These pieces were created by British jewellers in limited quantities to celebrate royal milestones and were often stamped with special hallmarks or dates.

During the mid-20th century, commemorative lockets were predominantly produced in 9ct yellow gold, sterling silver, or gold plate. High-grade examples feature machine-engraved architectural details, precise lettering, and robust suspension loops for chain attachment.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmarks indicating the purity of the gold, such as 375 for 9ct gold, alongside an assay office mark and date letter. Engraved details, crisp lettering, and solid hinges or closures further confirm original manufacture.

Small precious metal items such as medallions and lockets can be displayed inside velvet-lined shadow boxes or mounted within glass dome frames. Alternatively, they can be styled alongside antique desktop accoutrements or placed on decorative tray surfaces.

To clean 9ct gold lockets, wipe gently with a lint-free polishing cloth specifically designed for precious metals. Avoid immersion in water or chemical cleaners if internal photographic compartments or delicate mechanisms are present.
