Antique Rose Cut Diamond Floral Pendant
Located in Rotterdam, NL
An antique floral rose cut diamond pendant, truly a treasure to behold. This early 20th Century oval-shaped pendant is created with many bright rose cut diamonds set in a silver and gold frame. The diamonds are set in a silver raised dome shaped mounting with mille griffe silver work in between the diamonds. The reverse of the pendant is created in 14 karat gold and has a grooved dome in the center. The lovely design of the pendant is reminiscent of a blooming flower.

Victorian Diamond Encrusted Arrow Pendant with Silver Front and 14K Gold Back
Located in Venice, CA
Circa the 1870’s, this diamond encrusted arrow has been converted from a pin into a pendant that can be worn in a variety of ways. The arrow contains 32 natural Rose Cut diamonds that vary in shape and size, from round to oblong. Each diamond catches the light in a unique way, and the intricate details of the hand carved antique stones are mesmerizing. The quills of the feather are delineated, with space between each quill that reveals its careful workmanship. The age of this piece and its rustic, handcrafted quality gives it a beautiful naïveté. The arrow is a strong symbol of direction and sacrifice. It brings to mind St. Sebastian and stories of miracles and martyrdom. It can also be worn to represent momentum, movement, and protection. The pendant has a silver front and 14k gold back. We added half-bails to both ends of the pendant so that the arrow can be worn pointing up or down, or could be used as a chain extender. The pendant contains approximately .5 of a carat of diamonds. The 32 natural Rose Cut diamonds range from 2 mm to 1.25 mm. The arrow measures 2 3/16” x 9/16”. It weighs 4.2 grams. It is unmarked but acid tests as silver and 14k gold. The pendant is pictured here on both the 9K Gold Victorian Fettered Link English Watch Chain and Vintage 14K Gold Italian Snake...

RARE VICTORIAN VULCANITE GRAPE CHOKER NECKLACE ca. 1860
Located in New York, NY
This piece is so special and so rare: it dates to the Victorian era, more specifically the 1860s, and was likely made in Britain. It is crafted from vulcanite and features a teardrop shape with a high relief bunch of grapes in intricate detail, surrounded by a border of carved beads, strung on a fine black ribbon, to be worn as choker. (I love it strung on the Victorian Jet Choker pictured, which is also available in my shop.) The vulcanite has this truly stunning, relatively matte finish, with a rich warm glow— it's just so unique and unlike any other material. What is vulcanite? It is made by combining the sap of the Euphorbia or Ficus trees from Malaysia, with sulphur. It was originally invented in 1843 by Thomas Hancock. His timing just happened to be spot-on: black had long been considered essential to mourning jewelry and mourning dress, but thanks to Queen Victoria's extended 40 years of grieving (for her husband, Prince Albert), from about 1860-1890, black was considered a highly fashionable color, and began to be worn outside mourning dress. During this period, vulcanite became a very fashionable material for jewelry, and it loaned objects that gothic, romantic, dramatic black cast that Victorians just loved. Victorian mourning jewelry is rife with grape motifs; for one, grapes were a symbols of Christ (as wine is the blood of Christ). On Victorian grave markers, a cluster of grapes typically means that the deceased was of mature years. Victorians are well known for using flowers and botanicals as a means of communication. Wild grapes, according to The Language of Flowers published in 1913, are symbols of Charity, a favorite Victorian theme. NOTE: The Victorian Hair Mourning...

Vintage Original French Medal Pendant Gold Plated Chain Necklace
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Vintage Original Marquis shaped Medal Pendant The medal has the phrase "Je suis l'Immaculée Conception" in French and translates to "I am the Immaculate Conception". The term "Immaculate Conception" refers to a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, which holds that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin. This is a unique privilege granted to Mary, as all other human beings, according to Christian doctrine, are conceived with original sin as a result of the Fall of Man. This medal could serve as a symbol of faith, a tool for prayer, or a reminder of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. The phrase "Je suis l'Immaculée Conception" is reportedly what Mary said to Bernadette Soubirous during the apparitions at Lourdes, France, in 1858. Therefore, such a medal may also have a particular connection to the Marian devotion associated with Lourdes. On the other side of the medal it has the date 8th of December 1933 engraved which is a significant date in Catholic tradition as it is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day that celebrates the doctrine that Mary was conceived without original sin. The year 1933 marked the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX, which was on December 8, 1854. A medal bearing this date could have been created to commemorate this significant milestone. It also says "S. Bernadette PPN Navars" which likely refers to Saint Bernadette...

Vintage Pendant Necklaces

Whether you’re layering multiple jewelry pieces or opting for a single strand, vintage pendant necklaces are versatile accessories that can elevate your casual wear as easily as they can add a creative flourish to your formal attire.

The earliest jewelry was less about accessorizing than it was about wearers arming themselves with amulets. In Ancient Egypt, some amulets featured a loop so that they could be strung around one’s neck. While rubies have long been one of the few gemstones that can give diamonds a run for their money, members of some ancient civilizations valued the stones from the get-go, donning ruby pendants as well as other stones with the belief that these adornments would bring protection, healing powers or strength. Today, we still wear our charm bracelets and charm pendants around our necks for good luck.

Later, pendant necklaces, like most fine jewelry, were worn strictly by royalty or the upper class and conferred wealth and prestige. This changed over time, thankfully, as wearing jewelry became more widespread, a democratized means of personal expression.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, pendant necklaces evolved from their status as spiritual amulets, but the jewels still carried deep personal significance. Victorian pendants, in particular, were part of the “mourning jewelry” tradition. Wearers would embed their pendants with locks of hair from a deceased loved one as a way of grieving in the wake of a loss. In the case of cameo jewelry, some pendants were even decorated with miniature hand-carved portraits in a detailed raised relief. Today, portraiture is still a characteristic of many of the hand-carved pendant necklaces offered by Italian jewelry house Scala Gioielli.

Luxury fine jewelry brands such as Cartier, BVLGARI and David Yurman offer their own unique interpretations of the cherished accessory, embellishing platinum or gold pendant necklaces with diamonds, sapphires and other stones.

On 1stDibs, find an extraordinary range of vintage pendant necklaces and other necklaces today.
