About the Item

This Victorian archeological revival pendant combines 14 karat and 10 karat yellow gold with a row of turquoise colored glass panels, a hallmark of the revival jewelry inspired by ancient Etruscan and Greco Roman goldwork that swept through the late 19th century. The gold frame surrounding the turquoise glass is worked with a scrolling foliate motif, set within a shield shaped surround finished with hand tooled rope twist and beaded detailing typical of the period's archeological revival output. On the reverse, the pendant opens to reveal a functional locket compartment, a practical feature often paired with this romantic revival style. The mixed karat gold construction, a common practice in period pieces where different golds were combined for design contrast, adds to its authenticity as a piece of its era. Please note the left turquoise glass panel has a small chip. Measuring 1.94 inches in length and 1 inch in width, the pendant weighs 7.8 grams. This archeological revival pendant deserves a place in the collection of anyone drawn to Victorian jewelry, or as a distinctive locket gift for someone who treasures pieces with history and sentiment. *no chain included

Victorian 14K Yellow Gold Diamond Enamel Cross Pendant, 1.00 Carat

Victorian 14K Yellow Gold Diamond Enamel Cross Pendant, 1.00 Carat

Located in Towson, MD

An elegant Victorian-era cross pendant crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, measuring approximately 1 1/2 inches long by 15/16 inch wide and weighing 5.29 grams. The cross is set with 11 old mine cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.00 carat, displaying near-colorless appearance with VS clarity. The diamonds are prong-set and arranged with seven running vertically and five across the center, creating a classic cross formation. Each row of diamonds is framed by black enamel detailing, a design element commonly associated with Victorian mourning jewelry. The enamel is bordered by decorative yellow gold scalloping, adding contrast and texture to the piece. Consistent with its age, the black enamel shows visible wear toward the lower portion of the cross, which is typical for antique pieces and reflects its history. The pendant is fitted with a yellow gold articulating bail, allowing it to move freely when worn. Examination of the reverse reveals a gold plate affixed to the upper back from which the bail is attached. This plate does not appear original to the cross, suggesting the pendant may have once been part of a larger item, possibly a locket, before being converted into a standalone cross. This possibility further supports the interpretation of the piece as a Victorian mourning cross...
