This Edwardian sunburst pendant and brooch is formed in 15-carat yellow gold and set throughout with seed pearls. The piece incorporates a celestial starburst design alongside intricate scrollwork detail, with multiple seed pearls arranged along the rays and loops, plus a central pearl and a small pearl set within the top bail. The hardware on the reverse combines both pendant and brooch fittings, enabling versatile wear, and the metal is stamped 15CT. Measuring 3.8 x 2.5 cm, the item weighs 5.6 g and remains in excellent antique condition with a rich gold colour. It can be worn attached to a chain around the neck or fastened to garments as a traditional brooch.

FAQs

Sunburst and celestial motifs were popular during the late Victorian period, symbolising guidance, brightness, and hope. These items were often dual-purpose, featuring a fold-down bail or detachable fittings to be worn as both a pin and a necklace pendant.

High-carat gold alloys, particularly 15ct gold which was standard in the United Kingdom between 1854 and 1932, were paired with natural split seed pearls inserted into tailored grain or claw settings.

Authentic pieces often bear British hallmarks specifying 15 or .625 purity marks, alongside characteristic hand-finished setting work, Victorian C-clasps, or tube hinges.

Convertible jewellery items can be worn on modern coat lapels, velvet chokers, or delicate gold chains, or mounted inside fabric-lined shadow display cases when not in use.

Keep pearls away from water, perfumes, and harsh chemicals, cleaning the gold gently with a dry soft cloth and storing the item flat in a padded box to protect the delicate settings.
