Victorian old cut diamond and pearl necklace with gold pendant.

This romantic Victorian necklace is reminiscent of an elegant gold, diamond, and pearl-adorned collar. Crafted in 18 carat rose and yellow gold with a 14 carat yellow gold chain, the piece features edges lined with half natural seed pearls, framing a delicate gold lattice with old mine cut diamonds set at each intersection. At the centre, a bow-shaped ornament sparkles with a prominent old mine cut diamond, while the locket beneath, perfect for holding a beloved’s portrait, echoes this motif.  This piece captures the essence of Victorian elegance and romance, making it a true testament to timeless devotion.
