Antique pendant with over 8 carats of diamonds.

Here is a truly magnificent antique diamond pendant that is destined to be noticed and admired from near or far and is the true epitome of high quality Victorian jewellery.

Beautifully hand made in 18 carat yellow gold and sterling silver, the reason that silver was used on the top instead of white gold or platinum was that it wouldn’t be until the early 1900’s when white gold was invented, and although platinum had already been discovered, there was not the technology to heat the platinum to a sufficient temperature to use it in jewellery.

Set with 1 European cut diamond in the centre with a further ten in one cluster and a further ten on the outside, these diamonds alone total 7.10 carats. With a further ten single cut diamonds that total 0.70 carats, with three more European cut diamonds that add a final 0.28 carat s of diamond weight to this pendant and coming all together total 8.23 carats, this is truly and exceptional and dazzling pendant that will make any woman feel like royalty.

Measuring 2.7cm across by 3.9cm to the top of the bail, this is destined to be a much admired and loved family heirloom.
