Antique victorian amethyst and seed pearl star brooch pendant, in 9 carat gold

A beautifully delicate Victorian amethyst and seed pearl star brooch pendant, crafted in 9 carat gold and dating to circa 1890s. This enchanting piece has a celestial elegance, rich in detail and symbolism, and wonderfully versatile in form.

The design takes the shape of a star or snowflake, with each arm tipped and adorned with glowing seed pearls that create a soft, luminous surface across the piece. At the centre sits a vibrant bezel set amethyst, radiating bright violet purple tones and providing a striking focal point against the creamy pearls.

Between each star tip are charming forget me not flower details, adding depth and refinement to the silhouette. These delicate floral accents enhance the romantic Victorian character of the piece and give it a beautifully balanced, ornamental feel.

The brooch is finished with both a tapered bail loop and a brooch fitting, allowing it to be worn either as a pendant or as a brooch. It is hallmarked 9CT to the reverse and weighs 3.86 grams, making it a wonderfully wearable antique with presence and grace.

Amethyst is the birthstone for February, traditionally associated with calmness, clarity, and protection. Combined with seed pearls, long symbolising purity and love, this piece is a true Victorian treasure and a captivating example of celestial inspired antique jewellery.
