About the Item
This exceptional 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
Provenance: From a private European collection
The pendant comes without the chain.
The combination of vibrant turquoise enamel, lustrous pearl, and warm gold makes this pendant both visually captivating and deeply romantic. Pieces of this type were often gifted between lovers or close family members, serving as symbols of loyalty and remembrance.
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.
