A magnificent example of late 19th-century European craftsmanship, this exceptional antique pendant showcases a breathtaking 41.06ct (est.) pear-shaped buff-top amethyst set within an ornate platinum floral motif encrusted with hand-cut rose-cut diamonds. Rich, vivid purple and glittering antique diamonds create a dramatic and romantic statement, characteristic of the high Victorian and Belle Époque eras.
The amethyst is framed in a yellow gold bezel with a platinum top, while the back reveals beautifully preserved hand-engraved scrollwork around the pavilion. The diamond-set bail adds additional sparkle and refinement. Large in scale at 53.6 × 34 mm, this piece commands attention yet maintains the delicacy of fine antique metalwork.
A true heirloom jewel — rare, ornate, and impossibly elegant.
