Here’s a splendid and large 18-carat gold mid-Victorian Archaeological Revival pendant with an unusual geometric shape that adds to its ancient-looking appeal.

The surface is covered in exquisite gold work, from the central bunch of grapes to the lotus flower at the base, with fine granulation and filigree throughout.

Gold scrolls and balls around the edges add still more ornamentation.

Yet the overall effect is not too much, lightened as it is by the use of spaces between the different elements.

The attractive wide top loop is detachable for wear as a brooch rather than a pendant, in typical Victorian fashion.

And there’s a locket compartment with its original glass for hair at the back – once again so very Victorian.
