For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian 1.90 carat diamond, pearl and enamel, 15 carat yellow gold and silver set locket pendant//brooch; part of our Victorian jewellery collections.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian pendant/brooch has been crafted in 15ct yellow gold with a silver setting.

The pendant has an oval-shaped form, ornamented to the anterior surface with a stunning oval hot enamel miniature portrait depicting a winged putti enveloped with turquoise coloured fabric beside a female figure draped in yellow and pink garments, holding a lyre to her opposing side.

The central yellow gold collet set portrait is bordered with fifty-three silver pavé set diamonds, in a combination of Dutch and mine cuts graduating in size dependent on location.

The pendant/brooch setting supports an articulating pearl, via an impressive scrolling leaf motif ornamented with ten further pavé set diamonds.

The apex of the portrait border is further embellished with a reflected scrolling motif bearing twenty diamonds, flanked with an alternating array of pearls and protruding diamond settings ornamented with eighteen diamonds.

The scrolling terminals of this splayed design supports an articulating pearl.

The reverse of the pendant is fitted with a push fit glass panel which allows a personal memento or keepsake to be displayed.

This Victorian enamel pendant brooch with pearls suspends from a contemporary 18ct yellow gold 18' chain via a detachable push fit bale to the upper border of the design; this tapering bale is ornamented with ten further pavé set diamonds, completing the design.

This stunning locket can also be worn as a brooch, securing to the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp fastening.

This Victorian portrait locket has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 15 carat gold and silver.

This impressive antique pendant is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

The enamel panel is in perfect condition.

The antique locket is a superior gauge of gold and is in exceptional condition.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Victorian enamel locket pendant brooch is a late 19th-century multifunctional piece of fine jewellery featuring hand-painted enamel imagery framed by precious metals and gemstones, engineered to be worn as either a neck pendant or a pin brooch.

Victorian artisans frequently crafted these pieces using 15ct or 18ct yellow gold, silver-topped gold settings to highlight diamonds, hand-painted vitreous enamel plaques, and natural seed pearls or saltwater pearls.

Authentic period pieces usually exhibit hand-cut rose or old mine-cut diamonds, smooth age-appropriate wear to the vitreous enamel, closed-back or glass locket compartments, and late 19th-century metalwork techniques.

This versatile piece can be suspended from a fine modern gold chain to elevate daily attire or pinned directly onto a tailored jacket lapel, coat, or silk scarf as a refined statement accessory.

Keep the item away from water, liquid cleaners, and ultrasonic baths, as moisture damages delicate enamel backing and organic pearls. Clean gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth and store flat in a lined jewellery box.
