Georgian Diamond and Ivory Miniature Portrait Pendant
About the Item
A rare and elegant late Georgian portrait miniature locket pendant, set with five old cut diamonds in a floral motif and cast in 9ct gold.
The portrait of the lady is painted on ivory, set in gold, with an opening locket compartment behind.
The pendant also features a 9ct gold bale ring of a good size, ready to be suspended from a chain.
This pendant is 9ct gold with possibly other mixed alloys.
Miniatures of this type peaked in popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries and were painted as mementos to loved ones, before falling into obscurity with the advent of daguerreotype and photography.
