About the Item
A Victorian Renaissance revival gem-set pendant, the central cushion shaped faceted ruby set to the centre of an old brilliant-cut diamond encrusted yellow gold 8-point star, set with pearls, rubies and diamonds, set between green and blue guilloche enamel surrounds, all suspended from a yellow gold foliate design, surmounting a three pearl drop, all stones set to yellow gold, circa 1850, measuring 4.2 x 2.5cm, gross weight 13.8 grams
This antique pendant is in very good condition for its age. Unmarked, tested a 18ct gold.
A gorgeous and dramatic mid nineteenth century Renaissance revival pendant. Renaissance revival pendants, also called Holbeinesque pendants, became very popular in the Victorian era as Victorian jewellers discovered sketches of jewellery made by the Northern Renaissance painter Hans Holbein while at the Tudor court in England. This pendant features a central cushion-cut ruby surrounded by a star of scintillating diamonds. Fine enamel detail and further rubies and diamonds as well as lustrous pearls adorn this ornate pendant. This exquisitely crafted and detailed pendant comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and is a wonderful example of Victorian renaissance revival style.
Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.

- Renaissance Cameo PendantLocated in New Orleans, LAThe cameo at the center of this exceptional pendant is a stunning example of the art of gem engraving during the Renaissance. It likely dates to the early 17th century and features a sacrificial scene inspired by the Greco-Roman era. The central flaming altar is flanked by two figures preparing to sacrifice a ram, while a figure in a lion skin blowing horns stands in the left corner. The carver brilliantly uses the natural layers of the stone to achieve the illusion of shadow and musculature on the figures. A second, smaller cameo is set at the top of the pendant, while a myriad of multi-colored gems, pearls and enamel adorns the 18K gold setting. A large Baroque pearl suspended from an enamel dragon finishes the design, which embodies the opulence and theatricality of jewels from the Renaissance age. Cameos and intaglios were highly popular amongst wealthy connoisseurs in Renaissance Italy, and owning the finest pieces was the privilege of princes. Although they were often elaborately mounted for display alone, cameos were also frequently worn as pendants, surrounded by enameled and stone-set gold frames.
