About the Item

A statement of Victorian elegance and naturalistic charm, this late 19th-century pendant (circa 1880–1900) centers on a richly banded bull’s eye agate, prized for its concentric contrast and grounding presence. The surface is adorned with a delicate pearl-set floral motif, alongside a whimsical gold bee, offering an enchanting nod to Victorian symbolism and fascination with the natural world. While the bee accent was a later addition, it integrates seamlessly into the design, enhancing the pendant’s charm without compromising its antique character or structural integrity. Framing the central agate are alternating tiny banded agate beads and half pearls, all mounted in finely detailed 15ct gold, which has been professionally verified via X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and traditional jeweler’s acid testing for authenticity. The pendant measures approximately 2.4 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom and 1.5 inches across, and is presented in excellent antique condition. It comes with a complimentary 18.5-inch 9ct gold chain, which has also been tested and verified.

Victorian 18k Banded Agate, Pearl + Enamel Mourning Locket
Located in Narberth, PA
This rare mourning locket from the Victorian (ca1875) era is quite a stunning piece! Crafted in vibrant 18k gold, the decorative locket serves as an incredible example of the mourning jewelry tradition. A delicate white pearl is pin-set in a gold 8-pointed star; a classic Victorian motif. The pearl and star rest in the center of a bezel-set piece of banded agate, surrounded by a gold twisted rope-like border around the bezel. The agate and pearl are encompassed by a broad gold boarder heavily adorned with black enamel. The enamel script reads "In memory of" on the four points of the cross. In between the points of the cross, gorgeously enameled flower-like shapes fill in the negative space. The outer edges of the locket also feature spoked gold-shot detail. The locket also boasts an over-sized bail that features the same floral enamel styling that can be seen throughout. The backside of this piece features a single large compartment with a removable glass face with gold frame that likely once held a photo or memento of the deceased. Engraved above the top of the compartment reads "George May, Died 6...
