SOLD Edwardian 9ct Gold Love Note Envelope Pendant

This item is RESERVED. Please do not purchase 

A lovely piece from the turn of the last century, c1900. This piece is exquisitely made in the shape of an envelope. The envelope flap opens on a hinge to reveal a flat compartment where the original gold 'note' is stored: a plain gold plaque that could be engraved if required. At the centre of the closed flap is a little seed pearl, that also acts as a sort of clasp as the envelope seals over it. A beautifully crafted example of a love token from this period.

Chain is for display only.
