Delicate and beautifully detailed, this English Late Victorian pendant, dating to the 1890s, carries the soft, romantic character often found in English jewellery of the period.
Meticulously crafted in warm 9 carat yellow gold, the openwork design is centred by a round faceted amethyst mounted in a fine rubover setting, with a matching suspended drop beneath echoing the stone’s gentle lilac tone.
The flowing silhouette is formed of elegant scrollwork, beautifully decorated with small seed pearls, each nestled within tiny floral motifs that give the piece a wonderfully intricate character.
Finally, the piece measures approximately 5.5 x 3.2cm, weighs 4.42 grams and remains a particularly wearable example of late 19th century English jewellery, refined and feminine. Stamped 9CT.
