Description & specifications

A portrait, framed like a portrait.

The Haile Selassie Diamond Portrait Pendant is built as a framed picture rather than a medal. The Emperor is carved in high relief in satin gold — imperial crown, full regalia, the embroidery of the cope rendered stitch by stitch — set against a radiating sunburst engraved into a contrasting polished ground so the light appears to come from behind him.

Around that sits a genuine frame: a scalloped outer edge traced in hand-set diamonds, an inner band of engraved acanthus scrollwork, and a beaded milgrain lip where the frame meets the portrait. Three distinct treatments before your eye reaches the figure, which is what makes it read as a framed object rather than a stamped disc.

The reverse is a finished face in its own right. The Lion of Judah walks with the cross-topped staff and banner in high relief, over a ground patterned with repeating lion-and-crown motifs, above an engraved plaque carrying the Emperor’s words: “Imagination, devotion, perseverance, together with divine grace, will assure you success.” Stones are set into the reverse field and into the cross finial.

At 75g in 18K with a 2.5" face and an openwork gallery wall, this is a substantial pendant and it is meant to be seen from both sides.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • High-Relief Imperial Portrait – Crown and regalia carved in satin gold detail
  • Diamond-Traced Scalloped Frame – Hand-set stones following the full wavy edge
  • Engraved Sunburst Ground – Radiating lines in contrasting polished metal
  • Finished Reverse – Lion of Judah in relief over a lion-and-crown field, with the engraved quotation
  • Substantial Scale – 75g in 18K, 2.5" tall, on a double-row diamond bail

The Haile Selassie Diamond Portrait Pendant is a devotional portrait given the frame it deserves.

Made to order, turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks.
