Antique Victorian 15ct (And 9ct) Onyx Pendant/Brooch Necklace Circa 1880-90
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
A fabulous, and quite rare piece of Victoriana, we have not seen a piece quite like this one for many years!
The pendant section is crafted from 15ct rosy hued gold and set with hand craved pear, and curved tear-drop, lustrous black Onyx, each set in a millgraine setting which surround the main oval Onyx section which is also faintly set with a small half seed Pearl and Onyx motif.
Strikingly beautiful engraved leaf-type foliate motifs further add to the charm and intricacy of this outstanding piece.
To the verso is the original C clasp and pin which would have been used for extra security when pinned to the bodice over a century ago.
The chain is divine.. strong and very solid, crafted from 9ct gold for durability and longevity, and is in excellent condition.
A surprising length at 51cm neck circumference, this unique and stunning Victorian necklace catches the eye when worn and is certainly a must for the serious collector.
