Antique victorian turquoise and pearl heart pendant, in 9 carat gold

An absolutely enchanting Victorian heart pendant, crafted in 9 carat gold and rich in colour, symbolism, and period charm. This beautifully romantic piece has a regal presence and a wonderfully soft elegance typical of Victorian jewellery.

The heart shaped form is created in an openwork design, giving the pendant depth and lightness while showcasing its intricate detailing. Set throughout are eighteen lustrous seed pearls, arranged in flowing, waterfall like arms that radiate from the centre. Each arm is delicately finished with a single vibrant turquoise stone, adding playful pops of colour and a striking contrast to the creamy pearls.

The combination of turquoise and pearl is both classic and meaningful, with turquoise long associated with protection and good fortune, and pearls symbolising purity and love. The bright, buttery tone of the 9 carat gold harmonises beautifully with the gemstones, enhancing their colour and lending the piece a warm, glowing character.

The pendant is hallmarked 9ct to the reverse and fitted with a healthy bail loop, ready to be added to your favourite chain. Romantic, detailed, and full of Victorian sentiment, this heart pendant is a truly special piece and a lovely example of antique gemstone jewellery.
