This Victorian pendant is formed from nine-carat yellow gold and styled in the Gothic alphabet with a capital letter E set centrally with seed pearls. The central letter rests within a flat-edged square frame of gold, featuring an openwork design and individual small white pearls embedded along the vertical strokes of the letter. Surface marks on the gold and minute variations in the pearl settings show signs of age on the antique piece. Measuring 1.4 x 1.4 cm, the small item weighs 0.8g and includes a ribbon slider back designed originally for a choker or bracelet. In a modern interior, the pendant sits comfortably suspended from a thin chain around the neck or mounted upon a ribbon as a choker necklace. The Victorian jewellery piece works well worn daily as a personal memorial accessory or displayed within a collection of antique trinkets.

FAQs

A Victorian ribbon slider pendant is a decorative jewellery piece constructed with fittings on the reverse that allow it to slide directly onto a velvet ribbon, woven band, or chain.

Victorian initial pendants were commonly crafted from 9ct or 15ct yellow gold and inlaid with natural split seed pearls, enamel, or small precious gemstones.

Authentic Victorian gold jewellery typically displays period hallmarks or stampings, hand-set seed pearls, antique cut stones, and characteristic wear patterns on the metal reverse.

An antique ribbon slider can be worn fitted around the neck on a slim black velvet ribbon as a choker, or styled suspended from a delicate modern gold chain.

Wipe gold and seed pearl jewellery gently using a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, avoiding immersion in water, ultrasonic cleaners, or harsh chemical agents.
