About the Item

An exquisite handmade necklace from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This stunning piece was originally an antique pin, and is now a beautiful and stylish conversion piece. The necklace is made of 18kt yellow gold, and features a lovely cherub pendant that hangs from a complimentary gold chain. The cherub's face is hand-carved from a vibrant opal, which rests between two feathered gold wings. The carved facial features are exceptionally detailed, including 3-dimensional details and fine curls of hair. The wings are ornately textured and feature 9 accent diamonds (approximately 1pt each) scattered throughout. Attached to the top of each wing is a strand of gold chain, fastening with a lobster clasp in the back. A single bezel set diamond provides the perfect accent at one side of the chain. This spectacular and unusual pendant is very rare, and would make a one-of-a-kind addition to any collection! The pendant measures approximately 2" wide and approximately 7/8" tall. The cherub's face measures approximately 1/2" long, 1/2" wide and has a depth of 1/4". The chain measure 15.5" in length.

This created a very dramatic contrast between the white quartz and the yellow of the gold. Jewelry crafted from gold quartz became quite a fashion statement of the 1880's. An unusual and gorgeous gold quartz locket...
