Antique Victorian Blue Enamel Garnet Heart Necklace 'Puffy' Pendant - c.1900

About the Item

We are delighted to offer this adorable antique Victorian silver-gilt heart pendant made c.1900. Captivating and enchanting upon first glance, this pendant features a rich royal blue coloured enamel on top of a textured (almost strawberry-like) pattern. The endearing heart shape is complemented by the central cluster/flower-like design of cabochon garnets, enamel dots and one larger pearl in the centre. The contrast between the pinkish garnets and the blue enamel is lovely and very appealing to the eye. The blue colour changes hues drastically depending on the lighting, at night it has a dark navy tone whilst in direct sunlight, it has a vibrant and lively allure. In addition to its delightful enamelling and colours, the manner in which the silver-gilt body is formed in a 'puffy' heart shape allows for the pendant to have more presence than its dimensions may suggest. Distinctly Victorian distinguished from contemporary pieces, this pendant makes for a wonderful addition to any antique jewellery lover's collection and a conversation starter upon wearing. Versatile with all manners of clothing and events, this pendant may just be the perfect gift for someone special. Garnet is known to be the birthstone of January and Pearls, June. Ready to wear out of the box: All of our pendants also include the photographed thinner complimentary 9ct solid gold (modern) chain so that you can enjoy your newly acquired treasure straight out of the box.
