A Victorian pendant in a spherical form, pavé set with turquoise and natural pearls. The fine pavé work enhances the smooth surface of the stones, while the compact design allows it to hang elegantly from a chain.
Turquoise was highly valued during the mid-19th century for its vibrant blue-green hue and symbolic associations with protection and good fortune. In Victorian jewellery, it was frequently combined with pearls to balance colour and luminosity, and collectors today appreciate its enduring charm and the skill required to pavé set small stones evenly.
18ct yellow gold.
English, circa 1865.
