This stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian pendant has been crafted in 9ct rose gold with a silver setting.

The pendant/locket has an oval form consisting of two compartments.

The central portrait is bordered by a silver set scrolling, undulating millegrain decorated frame, complete with a trefoil shaped tied bow design to the upper portion.

The Victorian gold locket is embellished with two impressive round faceted cut rubies, rose gold collet set to the apex and nadir of the portrait.

The pierced decorated frame is ornamented with six millegrain decorated collet set diamonds, in addition to a further sixty-one pavé set eight cut diamonds.

The nadir of the stunning design features a teardrop shaped rose gold terminal set with an impressive green paste panel.

The reverse of the impressive hinged compartment displays a secondary hand-painted miniature portrait, depicting an older figure’s face.

The Victorian pendant suspends from a contemporary 9ct yellow gold 18″ fine trace chain via a ring loop attachment to the upper border of the design.

This Victorian portrait pendant has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 9 carat gold and silver.

This impressive antique pendant is supplied with an independent diamond grading report card.

Its locket form makes it especially meaningful, lending itself beautifully to sentimental wear, whether layered with fine chains or worn alone as a focal point against simple necklines. Ideal for those who appreciate intricate Victorian craftsmanship and jewellery with narrative.

Lovely selection & excellent service

AC Silver has a stunning selection of antique and vintage items. Both of my brooches arrived right on time as indicated by the tracking. They are even lovelier in person and I look forward to wearing them for decades to come. Andrew and Gemma provided excellent communication and prompt dispatch. I would absolutely recommend working through them.

Excellent customer care.

I had to place the order over the phone as my internet was misbehaving. The lady who I spoke to could not have been more helpful and was particularly careful to get all the details correct. I was then informed about the collection and dispatch of the item purchased, by email. The item arrived as expected and it had been most well packed so that no harm could come to it. It was a delight to purchase this item from C6323, AC Silver, and I could not fault any aspect of their customer care. I was highly delighted with my silver mustard pot and it was much better than the pictures on the web site.
