19th century
Sold 3 November 2025 · Artisan Antiques
This “Antique Victorian Ruby & Pearl Star Pendant Necklace Brooch 14k Gold - C.1890” found a buyer.

It was listed by Artisan Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

We are delighted to offer this splendid Victorian antique 14ct gold pendant necklace brooch made c.1890.

Featuring an exquisite and intricate design, this pendant presents a spectacular starburst design with graduated seed pearls and a central ruby.

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.

Victorian jewellery, spanning the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, is typically divided into three distinct eras: Romantic, Grand, and Aesthetic. It frequently incorporates sentimental motifs such as hearts, serpents, and celestial bodies like stars and crescents, often set in yellow gold with gemstones.

Jewellery from the late 19th century commonly featured 9ct or 14ct yellow gold, silver-topped gold, natural seed pearls, and mined gemstones such as rubies, sapphires, and diamonds. Metal alloys of this period often possessed a warmer, richer hue due to differing refining techniques.

Authenticity is typically determined through hallmarks, maker marks, metal testing, and construction characteristics. Hand-cut gemstones, closed-back settings in earlier pieces, integrated pin stems with C-clasps, and signs of hand-craftsmanship rather than modern casting are key indicators of period origin.

Antique jewellery can be styled by pairing ornate historical pieces with minimalist modern attire to create a striking contrast. Layering antique pendants on simple gold chains or wearing convertible brooches as statement necklaces bridges historical craftsmanship with modern fashion.

Preservation requires storing pieces in soft-lined jewellery boxes away from direct sunlight and humidity. Gentle cleaning should be done with a soft, dry cloth; ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemical dips must be avoided, particularly for delicate materials like pearls and softer gemstones.
