Antique Victorian Turquoise Pendant Necklace Brooch 18K Gold Etruscan c.1880
About the Item
We are delighted to offer this magnificent antique Victorian turquoise cabochon cluster pendant necklace made in the Victorian era, c.1880.
This exemplary pendant is of Victorian Etruscan revival design and remains in wonderful condition in spite of its age. We are particularly pleased to have acquired this piece in such a preserved state as all turquoise cabochons are very closely matched and have minimal discolouration.
Usually, counterpart examples will have a more worn, discoloured or deficient cabochon cluster owing to natural wear over the years, however, this particular pendant has a very crisp and uniform appearance.
The central portion is raised as if it is a cabochon itself and is significantly domed, presenting a majestic and mystical appearance upon wearing.
The surrounding 18ct gold mount remains very crisp with a 'frosted' etruscan style sheen which has an opulent soft glow upon wearing under natural lighting/sunlight.
Each element such as the coiled border, foliate wreath and rope twist edge is a testament to the fine Victorian goldsmithing - it is truly remarkable how intricate and creatively each part has been crafted.
The reverse side of the pendant features a glass locket, a pin and a bail so that it may be worn both as a brooch or a pendant; combining the best of both style and versatility for your wardrobe.
The pendant has a substantial size and weight in hand which gives a reassuring and tangible quality feeling.
A remarkable piece of fine Victorian jewellery whether it be a special gift or for a personal addition. This pendant would most certainly make for a unique addition for the distinguished antique jewellery lover and an instant conversation starter upon wearing.
The pendant is unmarked as is common with articles of this period and as such we have tested it fully with results indicating 18ct solid gold.
Turquoise is known to be the birthstone for December.
Ready to wear out of the box: All of our pendants also include the photographed thinner complimentary 9ct solid gold (modern) chain so that you can enjoy your newly acquired treasure straight out of the box. The antique and heavier belcher chain is for display purposes only.

- Antique Cameo Brooch Pendant Necklace 18K Gold - Victorian c.1860Located in London, GBWelcome to Artisan Antiques based in Mayfair, London - We are delighted to offer this magnificent large antique 18ct gold shell cameo brooch/pendant locket made c.1860, depicting a figurehead of Hera - a Greek mythological goddess of women, marriage and childbirth (also referred to as Juno by the Romans). Its majestic presence, distinguished design and impressive size are immediately captivating even to the untrained eye and whilst undeniably attractive and delightful even at a quick glance, it is upon closer inspection that its true splendour and intricacy can be fully appreciated. The overall design features a whole array of wonderful embellishments and craftsmanship; a profusely decorated frame made from solid 18ct gold is accented with layers of applied gold ribbons/bows, beads and twist-rope borders. What is particularly noteworthy about this frame/border is the fact it has a concave 'doughnut' like shape that contours the cameo whilst also allowing for the spinning locket design to function flawlessly. Upon unfastening the rear pin, the central cameo spins around and presents a locket with a portrait of a gentleman and the fine mechanism and craftsmanship of the central piece can be further appreciated. The portrayal of Hera 'in profile' (side on) is simply splendid with crisp engravings, attractive proportions and an almost lifelike texture/facial expression in the manner of Renaissance sculptures. The reverse side of the brooch reveals a large pin for fastening on to a coat lapel or jumper with an additional later added safety chain. Further, the bail at the top allows for this piece to be worn as a magnificent pendant necklace. All of the combined factors make this cameo brooch a wonderful collectable piece of 19th-century antique jewellery history which would not only make for an excellent display piece but an inimitable and breathtaking brooch to wear on special occasions. Not only would the aesthetic be impressionable, but as a conversation starter, this brooch may serve as the perfect occasion to share your discerning historical/antiques passion...Category
