A striking example of Grand Victorian craftsmanship, this pendant, crafted in 18K red gold, features a delicately suspended central element adorned with three fancy brown diamonds, evoking a sense of timeless elegance. Above them, a charming fancy yellow diamond completes the composition, adding a subtle touch of romance. Set with an additional 31 old mine cut diamonds, the piece exudes opulence and sentimentality. The graceful curves, paired with a single drop pearl, bring forward the romantic andornate spirit of the Victorian era, allowing the wearer to feel deeply connected to the past, while creating new memories of their own.

Style Victorian - Victorian decorative arts refers to the style of decorative arts during the Victorian era. The Victorian era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historic styles and the introduction of cross-cultural influences from themiddle east and Asia in furniture, fittings, and Interior decoration. Victorian design is widely viewed as having indulged in a regrettable excess of ornament. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveaustyle have their beginnings in the late Victorian era. See also: Victorian more info on styles
Style specifics The Grand Victorian Period - Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also called The Victorian era (1837 - 1901) into three periods of about twenty years each; The Romantic Victorian Period (1837 - 1860), The Grand Victorian Period (1860 - 1880),and the Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period (1880 - 1901).
We consider this to be of the Grand Victorian Period.
This second Victorian period is famous for its ostentatious pieces set with pearls and diamonds (from South Africa). From ca. 1850 wealthy English had reported about jewelry from India and Japan, which heavily inspired the jewelers of this period. Thisperiod also corresponds with the death of Queen Victoria's husband King Albert making mourning jewelry (set with heavy dark stones) the type of jewelry specific for this period.
