Circa 1900, this beautiful antique Victorian ruby pendant is made in luxurious bright buttery yellow 18ct gold in an intricate openwork design with tiny hand-engraved accent lines. A quality piece in heavy gauge gold (it isn't thin and flimsy) this feminine pendant is an elegant oval shape with beaded granulation decorating the sides. The centre is set in a little princess-cut pink ruby mounted in a milgrain edge bezel and the pendant is topped in a heavy 18ct gold oval jump ring.
The pendant can be purchased with the vintage Italian 9ct gold curb chain shown in the photos or you can pair it with your own chain, the jump ring will happily accommodate most gold chains.
A refined and elegant piece of classic antique jewellery, timeless and robust enough to wear everyday!
