A striking example of Edwardian-era jewellery, this blue zircon pendant features a geometric "target" design, a popular motif in early 20th-century jewellery. The pendant is crafted primarily in 95% silver, with a delicate 9ct gold rim outlining the outer circular layer, creating a striking contrast between the two metals. The piece is set with two vibrant, oval-cut blue zircons, renowned for their high brilliance and fiery dispersion, often mistaken for blue diamonds in antique jewellery.

The target motif, consisting of concentric circles intersected by crossbars, reflects the bold, symmetrical aesthetic favoured in both late Edwardian and early Art Deco designs. The pendant's upper element showcases an elegant openwork fan-like detail, emphasising the delicate and airy craftsmanship of the period.


Condition: Excellent antique condition with minimal wear. The zircons remain well-faceted and luminous, displaying their characteristic brilliance and fire. The silver framework shows aged patina, enhancing its antique charm, while the gold outer layer retains its warm hue.
