This beautiful antique Victorian solid 9ct gold pendant is made by Constantine & Floyd and boasts a gorgeous chubby oval paste citrine of over 47 carats. The rich golden brown coloured paste gemstone (known locally in Scotland as a "Cairngorm") makes a glowing job of imitating its madly expensive earth-mined cousin, superbly cut with a flat bevelled top and a fancy faceted back it makes a true statement. The glass gemstone is mounted in a thick gold bezel with a heavy jump ring that is safely soldered closed. An elegant statement piece full of old world charm the gold has a lovely rosy hue that is so characteristic of warm old gold.
We have added a new Italian rose gold vermeil (gold plated sterling silver) belcher chain for immediate wear or to give as a gift but the large jump ring will accommodate most chains if you have a favourite gold chain you would prefer to wear her with.
