This vintage amethyst pendant and brooch crafted in 14k yellow gold, weighs 10.2g and measures 45mm long, 42mm wide and 7mm deep. This lavishly detailed Vintage Jewelry is inspired by the transitional period of the late 1850's, during which the popular cannetille technique was gradually substituted by gold repoussé work. It displays an assemblage of delicately chiseled scrolls and Etruscan Revival inspired granulation accents, dainty rosettes and fleur-de-lis profiles. An eye-catching 1.47ct oval-faceted amethyst measuring 8.90mm long and 7.01mm wide graded ‘light-lilac’ color and ‘good’ clarity constitutes the focal point of this exquisite openwork plaque, while six additional round-faceted amethysts cumulatively weighing 1.25cts, measuring 3.59mm in diameter and graded ‘medium-lilac’ color and ‘fair’ clarity are interspersed throughout the openwork panel. These vivacious ‘royal gems’ are complemented by 23 temptingly delicate seed pearls graded ‘silverish-cream’ color. A matching colored teardrop-shaped freshwater pearl measuring 5.85mm long and 4.15mm wide suspends ‘en tremblant’ from the lowermost extremity of the pendant, supported by a delicate yellow gold chain and enhanced by a pearl-studded fleur-de-lis profile. The reverse of this elaborately detailed pendant and brooch is stamped with '14k' and ‘F83’ probably the goldsmith’s reference number. This Victorian inspired vintage pendant and brooch features a well-concealed triumvirate bale of pronounced width and a hinged pin secured with a bayonet clasp.
