Victorian Aquamarine & Ruby Decorative Pendant
A stunning and unusual pendant from the early Victorian period, c1840s. The pendant is made from high carat gold, testing as at least 18ct, though it could be as high as 22ct, and is a beautiful rich colour. It is an elaborate and decorative design with plenty of gold detail, set with pale aquamarines. The aquas have a wonderful pale sea green colour, which was often the way in pieces of this style and age. There are also four little rubies at the corners. The stones have been checked by Wards in Hatton Garden and are confirmed as aquamarines.
The chain pictured is for display only, though it is available for sale separately.
