Artisan Antiques has dated this Victorian Ruby Pearl Pendant to the Victorian era.
The goldwork on this piece is particularly noteworthy and impressive - exceptionally fine and with a centrally pierced design, it is exemplary of the high degree of goldsmithing of the era.
In spite of the fine gold mount, each part has been meticulously set with seed pearls, tapering in size and wonderfully contrasting the antique yellow gold tone. The striking central ruby which has a candy-like hue, draws the eyes to the centre and completes the overall look with a highlight point.
Furthermore, the reverse side presents a pin and bale which allows this lovely piece to be worn both as a brooch or a pendant necklace, offering versatility. Even the bale has been meticulously crafted with a folding and turning mechanism for when it is not in use.
Whether it be for collection or wearing, this piece is certainly a distinguished choice for the antique lover and a conversation starter.
A spectacular gift for someone special or yourself.
Ruby is known to be the birthstone for July and pearls, June.
The pendant is unmarked, as is common with articles of this period and as such we have tested it indicating 14ct gold.
All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.
Ready to wear out of the box: All of our pendants also include the photographed complimentary 9ct solid gold (modern) chain so that you can enjoy your newly acquired treasure straight out of the box.
