DATE: Victorian, c.1870

An exceptional antique clover pendant dating from the mid Victorian period, circa 1870. The three leaves are set with large Siberian amethysts, oval faceted and approx. 21 carats each (!!), that display a wonderfully rich and vibrant purple hue and excellent transparency. Four diamond accents are nestled between the amethysts, including a central old mine cut, and the little stem is set with graduated rose cut diamonds. A detachable (also diamond set) bail can be fixed to either the top or the bottom, right under the stem. It's crafted in 15 karat gold and silver, and remains in excellent antique condition.
