An exquisite early Victorian pendant, crafted in 15kt yellow gold and silver, set with a rare natural blister nacreous pearl and accented by three rose-cut diamonds. The pearl, originating from a saltwater mollusk of the Pteridae family, displays a light cream body colour with orient overtones and fair lustre. Its surface has been worked, a typical treatment in the 19th century to enhance presentation.
The diamonds, modest yet bright, are carefully mounted within the silver framework, balancing the organic form of the pearl with the sparkle of faceted stones. This jewel embodies early Victorian sentimentality and the fascination with naturalistic materials, offering both rarity and charm. The piece is accompanied by a GCS certificate for authenticity.
