Antique 9ct Puffy Heart Pendant with Seed Pearls on a 14ct rope chain
A very special Victorian 9ct yellow gold puffy heart pendant, covered in seed pearls on a gorgeous 14ct antique rope link necklace.
A gorgeous heart pendant on a beautifully made rope chain. I am always on the hunt for pieces like this and both these pieces are in excellent antique condition. The puffy heart is just beautiful, on the front she is smothered in graduated seed pearls and on the back she is smooth rose gold with a small window for a photo. I would assume that the front has had a yellow gold "wash" applied over the rose gold.
The chain is so finely made, she is just stunning. She is made in 14ct yellow gold, but she has a definite rosy tint and could be paired with rose or yellow gold. She has a barrel clasp, that is nice and secure.
A stunning wear everyday antique necklace.
