large engraved 18ct gold foiled aquamarine pearl pendant c 1850 product-type_brooches-and-collectibles 85ct combined)Description: A magnificent early Victorian pendant, c. 1850, crafted in rich 18ct Gold and beautifully engraved to catch the light. A foiled Aquamarine sits to the fore, its soft watery blue glow set against a cluster of luminous Pearls; to the reverse a glazed compartment contains a plait of hair, suggesting this was worn as a poignant mourning jewel. Generous in scale and exquisitely worked, it balances sentimental meaning with refined antique style
