This enchanting Victorian-style pendant, crafted in the early 20th century (pre-1930), embodies the romantic and nature-inspired designs of the 19th century. At its heart, a beautifully faceted amethyst sits in a finely scalloped 15ct gold bezel, framed by twinkling rose-cut diamonds set in sterling silver. Delicate floral and foliate motifs further enhance the piece, paying tribute to the botanical influences of the Victorian era.

Although made in the early 1900s, this pendant was designed in the Victorian tradition, featuring the classic mixed-metal construction of 15ct gold and silver—a technique used to enhance the brilliance of diamonds. The pearls have been replaced over time, but they remain well-matched to the original design, ensuring the pendant retains its vintage charm. A diamond-set bale completes the piece, adding an elegant finishing touch.

Condition: Excellent condition with a warm aged patina. The pearls are later replacements, but all stones are securely set, and the pendant remains a fine example of early 20th-century craftsmanship in the Victorian style.
Amethyst Size: 9 x 8 x 5 mm (~1.85 ct)
