About the Item

This ornate antique pendant brooch, dating from circa 1870, is a magnificent example of high 19th-century craftsmanship and design. Created in 14 karat yellow and rose gold, the piece showcases the luxurious detailing and symbolic beauty so characteristic of the Grand Period of the Victorian era (1860–1885). The intricate composition features a double C-scroll design, finely engraved gold leaves, delicate beaded accents, and an array of lustrous seed pearls. A glass stone sits elegantly at the center, surrounded by four pearls and framed by ten more along each side. The upper section is adorned with wire scrollwork and a central pearl, adding lightness and refinement to the elaborate form. Suspended below are thirteen gold tassels and two polished gold spheres, which move gracefully with wear, adding a touch of lively charm. The half-moon plate above the tassels is enriched with fine engraved decoration, balancing movement and ornamentation beautifully. Pearls were cherished during the Victorian era for their associations with purity and femininity, and this pendant brooch embodies that sentiment perfectly. With its combination of texture, contrast, and movement, it exemplifies the opulent yet romantic aesthetic of mid-19th-century jewelry.
