About the Item

This beautiful Victorian pendant is a beautiful example of sentimental jewelry from the 19th century, combining refined craftsmanship with symbolic meaning. Crafted in 15 karat gold, the piece features a striking central dome of vibrant turquoise blue enamel, over which sits a finely modeled gold star. At the center of the star rests a luminous natural seed pearl, long regarded as a symbol of purity, love, and fidelity. The enamel plaque is embraced by an elegant interwoven gold knot frame, a motif widely used in the Victorian period to signify eternal bonds, unity, and unbreakable affection. Together, these elements form a delicate yet powerful love token, intended as a “forget-me-not” jewel, a cherished keepsake for a loved one to remember the giver by. Period: Victorian, circa 1880 Material: 15 karat gold Gemstones: Seed pearl; turquoise blue enamel Dimensions: 17 mm in diameter, excluding bail. Weight: 3.53 grams. Condition: Excellent antique condition; minor patina and surface wear commensurate with age The pendant comes without the chain. Today, it remains not only a wearable jewel but also an evocative relic of the Victorian fascination with sentimentality and symbolism in jewelry design. It would make a meaningful addition to any collection of antique jewelry, or a treasured heirloom for modern wear.
