For sale is this adorable antique pendant crafted during the Georgian era 1714-1830. This beauty is set with foil-backed rose cut diamonds, arranged in a drop-shaped yet flower formation. The gemstones are set in silver, backed with gold, as was typical at this time. This because jewellers believed that silver was the only material able to enhance the beauty of diamonds. We have to admit that it is a wonderful combination and therefore a very recognisable combination to this Georgian era. The gold layer on the back was to prevent the wearers skin to turn black from the silver, very smart right? This pendant bears no hallmark but we believe that they are of Dutch or Belgium origin.
We love the overall look of this Georgian beauty. Its elegant drop/floral shape, warm look and its recognisable combination of silver and rose cut diamonds. It is a wonderful treasure to wear for any special occasion or to wear everyday.
