This is a stunning Art Nouveau Victorian peridot and seed pearl gold pendant/brooch.
It has a faceted 5mm peridot gemstone in a double claw setting with ornate scroll, heart and ribbon designs typical of the Art Nouveaux period.
There are two seed pearls set into the bail, and a beautiful natural baroque pearl lavalier drop in a wirework setting. Above this is another pearl in a floral motif.
The pendant is articulated at both the bale and the baroque pearl so that there is movement. The brooch fitting fastens with a gold pin and has a round hinge and C clasp fitting, and the bail drops neatly behind to wear as a brooch.
This pendant is in very good antique condition with no damage or repairs.
