Large Engraved 18ct Gold Foiled Aquamarine Pearl Pendant, c.1850 cf-type-bracelets Rich and regalDescription: 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
