Large examples like this one — with the tooth's natural serrated edge fully intact — are increasingly hard to find, and this piece stands out for its size and the quality of the goldwork capping it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gold cap shows lovely age-appropriate patina and a beautifully scripted monogram, likely commissioned by a jeweller for its original owner as a personal or sentimental piece. The tooth itself retains its natural coloring and serration, a testament to careful keeping over the better part of a century (or more).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rare piece for collectors of colonial jewellery, natural history curiosities, or maritime antiques.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Fabulist","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":53005010469184,"sku":null,"price":1475.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/8115\/9744\/files\/IMG_3712.png?v=1786325826","url":"https:\/\/thefabulist.co.nz\/products\/antique-9ct-gold-capped-great-white-shark-tooth-pendant-new-zealand-colonial-jewellery-rare-large-example","provider":"The Fabulist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
