Description
Discover this beautiful antique Victorian heart pendant crafted in 18k gold with a subtle rosé tone. It features approximately 1.7-2 carats of rose-cut diamonds surrounded by elegant black enamel. During this era, gemstone cutting techniques were quite primitive, leading to irregular diamond shapes that became a hallmark of the period’s jewelry. Today, these unique cuts symbolize the romanticism of handmade craftsmanship, adding a touch of antique beauty.
Upon closer inspection, you’ll notice the meticulous carving on all the metal, showcasing the craftsmanship. The back of the pendant is partially open, with the stones protected beneath another heart design.
Measuring approximately 33mm tall and 19mm wide, the pendant weighs around 4.6 grams. There are minor signs of wear, but they do not detract from the beauty of this exquisite piece.
Queen Victoria ruled England from 1837 to 1901 and was a big trendsetter of her time. After the passing of her husband Prince Albert she entered a period of deep mourning which gave way to mourning jewelry. This style often included black enamel, dark onyx, and symbols to remind us of the loved ones.
