Victorian Enamel & Diamond Pansy Charm Necklace
A darling miniature Victorian pansy charm, crafted in 14k. The velvety purple & white enamel is delicately realistic, with a bright old mine-cut diamond sparkling from the center of the bloom.
In the language of flowers the pansy means " Think of Me" and the little blossoms have been a favorite love token motif for jewelry since the early 19th century. This would be a lovely touch on a summer bride, or a thoughtful gift for someone who holds a special place in your heart.
Details: Measuring approximately 1/2" high and 1/2" wide. Originally a stickpin that we fitted with a gold bail. XRF tested to 14k, the diamond is approximately .04 ct. Hung from an 18" 14k cable chain.
Condition: In excellent condition with minimal wear to the enamel on the edges of the petals, and some light oxidization of the gold on the back.
