A 15ct gold small heart pendant set with a richly coloured faceted amethyst, cut to mirror the romantic form of the mount. The stone has real depth and sparkle — the kind of saturated violet that photographs beautifully and draws the eye in person.
The setting is decorated with evenly spaced applied gold beading to the sides — a refined detail typical of Edwardian goldsmithing, where even the smallest element was considered. The warm tone of the 15ct gold sits particularly well against the cool purple of the stone.
A heart pendant in this metal and with this stone combination is exactly what Edwardian jewellers did best — sentimental in form, accomplished in execution.
