This antique pendant is in very good condition for its age. Unmarked, tested as platinum and 18ct gold. An elegant Edwardian pendant. This piece features a central disc of royal blue enamel set in the centre with a lovely pearl. Diamond-set foliate motifs radiate out from the pearl, adding sparkle. Surrounding the central enamelled circle is a fine openwork platinum frame. Platinum was widely used in the Edwardian era for its ability to create strong designs that could be very visually delicate. The frame to this pendant mimics the look of fine mesh lace, with diamonds set sparkling throughout it. Further diamonds border the fine platinum work and stud the pendant loop.
