A super quality Victorian 9ct gold and antique paste citrine spinner fob pendant in a nice large size and hallmarked for 1864. The 3-sided citrine is a glowing golden orange and beautifully cut with diamond shaped facets. The yellow gold open work bracket that holds the stone is decorated with a large daisy motif at the top flanked by tulip motifs and a row of gold beads accents the top.
In the Victorian language of flowers (known as floriography) the Daisy symbolises true love and Tulips represent undying passion, a gorgeous piece full of hidden meaning!
The pendant is in very, very good antique condition with light wear in keeping with age. The citrine is securely attached with no chips or cracks in the glass stone, there are a few slight nibbles to the facet edges under very close inspection. The hinged bracket frame is crafted in thick gold which results in a solid pendant that is nice and sturdy. It has a large size heavy gauge 9ct gold jump ring so you can attach it to a fairly thick chain if you wish (the chain shown is not included).
