Hand made in 18 carat gold, the pendant is set with five clusters of garnets that all display such a rich burgundy red colour as well as the detachable section on the top. Measuring 45mm across, by 62.8mm to the top piece or 51.9mm without, when it is worn as a brooch, the top garnet easily detaches so as not to get in the way.

With such a strong colour coming from the garnets and a beautiful design, this Georgian piece is just superb. Stock# ES8665 Circa: 1810 $6,400

Victorian era antique amethyst and pearl pendant that converts to a brooch
Here is an ingenious Victorian era antique amethyst and pearl pendant that converts to a brooch so easily and no matter which way it is worn, will always be loved for the gorgeous colour combination of the pearls and amethysts as well as the elegant design that will always be admired. Hand made in 9 carat rose gold in the 1890's, this piece is set with a beautiful cluster of seed pearls surrounding a central amethyst with more amethysts around the edge and then one suspended so delicately at the bottom that is also set with seed pearls. The top bail which is again set with a seed pearl, is attached via a clever design that allows it to easily be taken on and off, all the while being very secure and not able to come off on its own. The reason this part detaches, is that when it is worn as a brooch, if this part sticks up, it will look very odd, so detaching it makes perfect sense. Measuring 26.1mm across, with the top bail it measures 47.4mm tall or 36.5mm without this part. These dimensions make it perfect for a pendant or a brooch and regardless of how you choose to wear it, there is no doubt that it will always be admired as the combination of pearls and amethysts, along with the elegant design, will always make this such a stand out piece of jewellery from the late Victorian era.

Diamond and pearl double sided antique pendant with hand painted portraits on ivory
Here is a truly exquisite diamond and pearl double sided antique pendant with hand painted portraits on ivory that gets more and more beautiful the closer you look at it, and is a real testament to what the jewellers of the Victorian era could produce. So beautifully hand made in 15 carat rose gold and silver where the diamonds are set, silver was used to set the diamonds into during this time until the early 1900’s as until then white gold was not yet invented and platinum, although already discovered, was not used in jewellery until around the same time as white gold. Not only are there rose cut diamonds set on the top in what can only be described as the most gorgeous setting, as well as more rose cut diamonds at the very bottom, but looking close at the portrait of the young lady, there are ten more rose cut diamonds including the ones is a very sweet heart design. In total there are sixty five rose cut diamonds with a total weight of 0.78 carats, as well as seventeen natural pearls to compliment the beauty of this piece. Then when you look into the eyes of both the young lady and the baby, this also exemplifies the quality of the pendant as these have been hand painted to the highest standard complimenting the piece even further. And on the back of each portrait are the names "Ellen Lorna Fielden, when 18" and "Cecil M. Fielden, 1 year old". After extensive research we have found that not only were they brother and sister, but they were actually twins, both being born on the 30th September, 1854 in Yorkshire. With Ellen being 18 years old when painted, this would put the piece at being made around 1872 which is exactly in the style and era of this pendant. All of this makes this pendant so much more special and magical and a real way to hold a peace of history in your hand. Measuring 36.5mm across by 65mm or 75mm to the very top of the bail, this is by far one of the most outstanding antique pendants that you will lever come across, and an absolute treasure to admire from near or far.

Antique garnet and diamond locket pendant dating from the 1870’s
So elegant and typical of jewellery from the mid-Victorian era comes this antique garnet and diamond locket pendant dating from the 1870's that will always be admired from near or far.
