High Victorian Turquoise Pendant
A remarkable Victorian pendant in 18 carat set with diamonds and turquoise gemstones. The main body is built around a heart-shaped turquoise cabochon with swirling engraved goldwork and contrasting black enamel curves and scrolls. A long drop hangs beneath, with first a rose cut diamond and then another turquoise adorned with fine cannetille work. Although they work very well together, the drop and the main pendant are almost certainly a later marriage - very much in keeping with the Victorian penchant for eclecticism.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
