Vintage 13.5K Gold Egyptian Revival Queen Nefertiti Sunburst Medallion Pendant

Vintage 1970s Egyptian Revival pendant crafted in tested 13.5K gold, featuring a striking portrait of Queen Nefertiti surrounded by a dramatic sunburst design. Bark-textured rays radiate from the bezel, broken by rings of squared cutouts that open the disc. The front is inscribed “Nofretete Regina Aegyptirum,” translating to “Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt,” while the reverse reads “Et Aurum Semper Idem Artificium,” meaning “Gold, and craftsmanship that endures.” It can be worn as a statement pendant on a longer chain—the pierced rim keeps a disc this size feeling smaller than it actually is.
