Antique Edwardian 9ct Rose Gold Heart Amethyst Seed Pearl Pendant Circa 1910 Hallmarked for E S Barnsley & Co (Edward Souter Barnsley)
Please note, boxes and chains are for display only unless otherwise stated.
This enchanting antique Edwardian 9ct rose gold heart pendant, dating to circa 1910, whispers all the delicate romance of the era—feminine, flowing, and utterly timeless.
At its centre glows a beautifully cut heart-shaped Amethyst, faceted to catch the light with deep violet fire and framed by saw-tooth edging that nods to an earlier era.
Surrounding it is an exquisite openwork design—delicate, ribbon-like scrolls and organic curves that feel almost alive—accented with tiny natural half seed pearls that add a soft, luminous glow.
The Amethyst is in stunning condition for its age over a century old with no facet wear, retaining its rich colour and clarity without the usual wear you’d expect.
Crafted in warm 9ct rose gold it bears the maker’s mark E.S.B for E.S. Barnsley & Co. of Frederick Street, Birmingham—a respected name in early 20th-century jewellery.
The original top loop hangs gracefully, ready to slip onto a fine chain for subtle everyday wear or clip onto your favourite necklace for layered charm.
Measuring a perfect, intimate size, it sits just right against the décolletage—romantic without overwhelming.
If you adore jewellery that feels like a love letter from the past—sentimental, beautifully detailed, and steeped in Edwardian elegance—this rare 1910 treasure is the one you’ll reach for again and again.
