Victorian Citrine Pendant c.1890
An elegant large Victorian citrine pendant.
The pendant has a very large oval facetted citrine in a fine double claw setting with a crenelated edge. The stylised 'Rococo' design of the pendant is made from textured and highly polished gold with ancantus leaf and scrollwork designs.
The pendant has a loop to the top with a large runner ring allowing it to be worn on a chain, cord or ribbon. We can supply a chain if required.
This wonderful piece was probably originally a brooch and has been converted to a more wearable pendant may years ago. The reverse has a polished border and is open to the back of the gemstone allowing the beauty of the warm golden yellow citrine to be fully appreciated.
