Everything the archeological revival style from the grand period of the Victorian era should be, and then some...

Almandine garnets, diamonds, and 14k gold combine in an unsurpassed and artful pendant. Reminiscent of ancient Greek bulla gold pendants, this one is formed in two parts with an intricate hinge between both.

Characteristic of the period around 1860, the finish has the look of 18k gold with applied fine wire work, and gold granulation (beads), and is strongly geometric in design.

Five magnificent almandine garnets gleam with purple and deep plum tones amid a flurry of antique diamonds. Showy, this large pendant's bale is suitable for almost any size chain.

One of the finest pendants we have featured in this style, seeing it in person is a rare treat.
