Victorian Coral, Diamond, Enameled Locket Pendant

About the Item

A magnificent coral locket/pendant from the Victorian (ca1880) era! Made of vibrant 18kt gold, the piece is highly detailed and particularly large in size. A cluster of 7 coral cabochons rest at the center, which are smoothly polished and display lovely natural color. The cabochons are nestled within a wrapped wirework border, and a delicate rose cut diamond is riveted into the center, set within star-shaped border. A wonderful white enameled border surrounds the coral cluster, and is enhanced with a delicate twisted gold rope pattern. Dangling freely from the bottom of the piece are three coral links, which hang in a festoon fashion. The back of the pendant reveals a large glass locket window, which still holds a lock of hair inside. If desired, the hair can be removed to store a special photograph inside. The piece hangs from a large bow-shaped bail, which carries a complimentary coral, enamel and beadwork design. A spectacular Victorian piece, it would look incredible worn on a decorative gold chain, and would make an impressive addition to any jewelry collection! The pendant hangs 2 7/8" long, measuring from the top of the bail to the bottom of the hanging center link. The round locket measures 1 1/4" in diameter, and is 5/8" thick.

This created a very dramatic contrast between the white quartz and the yellow of the gold. Jewelry crafted from gold quartz became quite a fashion statement of the 1880's.
