Victorian Enamel & Diamond Pansy Necklace
A sweet miniature Victorian pansy charm, crafted in 14k with soft pink, purple and white enamel and a fiery old mine-cut diamond glittering in 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 7/16" wide. Originally a stickpin that we fitted with a gold bail. XRF tested to 14k, the diamond is approximately .03 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.
