Antique Victorian Garnet & Pearl Pendant Necklace 14k Gold C.1880

19th century
Sold 6 February 2026 · Artisan Antiques

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 stunning antique Victorian garnet and pearl pendant necklace made c.1880.

The pendant is made in 14ct antique gold and is set with a beautiful oval garnet cabochon in the centre with a cluster of seed pearls surrounding it. A top star accent has been intricately set on the garnet which makes for a truly stunning and iconic Victorian look.

The garnet has been set with a foil-backed setting, commonly found in jewellery of this period to enhance its vividness and reflective nature. Such a design allows for the necklace to move freely upon wearing and reflect the light in all angles, presenting a mystical difference in hue of red/pink depending on the lighting and viewing angle.

Owing to its striking design yet modest and versatile size, the pendant could be worn as a standalone piece or with an array of other necklaces. It would most certainly grace a blouse in the summer or on top of a jumper in the cooler seasons and is a discerning choice, perfect for displaying your passion for fine antiques and distinguished jewellery.

Garnet is known to be the birthstone for January.

A very special gift to a lucky individual or as an indulgent gift to oneself. A conversation starter for antique jewellery lovers and those with an eye for classical elegance.

The pendant is antique and unmarked as is common with articles of this period but tests as 14K gold.

Victorian jewellery is characterised by distinct periods spanning Queen Victorias reign, often featuring symbolic motifs, sentimental gemstones like garnets and seed pearls, and rich historical revival styles.

Pendants from this era were commonly crafted from yellow gold, frequently 9ct or 14ct, and set with natural gemstones including almandine garnets, seed pearls, and mined diamonds.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate hand-fabrication techniques, such as closed-back settings, hand-twisted wirework, and specific hallmarks denoting gold purity and makers marks.

Mixing historic pieces with minimalist modern attire creates a striking focal point, allowing the intricate craftsmanship of antique pendants to stand out against simple necklines.

Pearls are organic and porous, requiring careful cleaning with a soft, damp cloth without harsh chemicals, while gold settings should be stored separately to prevent scratching.
