HEART Victorian Purple Paste Amethyst 10k Gold PENDANT HOLDER on 14k Chain Glowing Buff Top Oval Hook on Back

ABOUT:

This one has been in my personal collection for a few years and I thought I'd release it to the wild to continue living its life : )

This one does double duty because the gorgeous pending with glowing buff top purple paste is set in that lovely engraved heart shaped setting that has a Hook at the back. Originally a brooch that held a ladies pocket watch, the hook makes it perfect for your neckmess because you can add on additional pendants and charms to dangle below. The pin parts were expertly removed with the back smoothly sanded and an antique chain was added at each shoulder. The stone is meant to look like an amethyst but doesn't test as such. It has a beautiful glowing lavender color.

The chain is in 14k hallmarked, the pendant is 10k gold tested.

Antique boxes / items in displays and group shots in photos are not included, listing is for the one piece. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.

MEASUREMENTS:
It weighs 4.6g. Stretched end to end it's 19 1/2 inches. The pendant is 26x22mm.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

Some surface wear but stable and wearable.

Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. Beautiful rich patina that has warmed the 18k gold - it has a beautiful glow. Some signs of it being worn from age, where there is a very slight / gradual curve, or a ripple here or there but still very stable. Some surface wear but this is only seen if you study it up close due to the mirrored finish. To the eye and while wearing it as an amazing color and shine, like I said it truly glows and the 18 plus grams of solid 18k gold make it a special piece indeed. Sturdy, wearable and interesting piece in the solid gold version. There are no dark or colored spots to the gold, it was just difficult to photograph because it is so shiny and mirrored that it reflects its surroundings. Impactful worn alone but also layers well with other pieces.

My disclaimer with all my pieces - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition.

I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
