Description

This very pretty antique pendant started out as part of a bigger piece of Georgian jewellery, possibly an earring or a necklace, and has at some time been converted to a very wearable piece which can be hung on a chain or ribbon.

The pendant is solid silver, set with beautiful sparkling old foil-backed black dot rock crystals, including some lovely cushion cuts. The Georgians (c.1714-1837) would paint a black dot on the bottom end of paste stones (the culet) to help give an illusion of depth and make them look more like real diamonds as they glittered in the candlelight.

In excellent antique condition, with a little wear to the facets and some of the foil. One of the stones looks like a historic replacement, it's an old cut but does not have a black dot.

Size: Approximately 2.5 x 3cm, 3.6cm total length including the bail.

Weight: 5.4g.

We currently have a number of lovely Georgian pieces just in (see final photo) which are being added to the shop, see our other listings for more details :)

FAQs

Georgian jewellery encompasses pieces made during the reigns of the first four Georges in Britain, spanning from 1714 to 1830, typically characterised by hand-crafted metals and foiled gemstones.

These items frequently feature natural quartz or rock crystal cut by hand, set in silver-topped gold or sterling silver mounts, often backed with foil to enhance light reflection.

Authentic pieces often display closed-back settings, hand-cut gemstones with irregular facets, and individually fabricated metal settings rather than cast mass-produced components.

Pairing historical pieces with contemporary minimalist clothing creates a striking contrast, allowing the intricate craftsmanship of the antique item to stand out.

Keep the item away from moisture, perfumes, and harsh chemicals, and store it in a lined jewellery box to prevent scratching the softer silver and crystal surfaces.
