Late Victorian Peridot & Pearl Pendant

A cushion of peridot is speckled at its compass points with a solitary seed pearl and suspended therefrom is an additional pear peridot. The pendant is rendered in 9 karat yellow gold and likely was made in the United Kingdom. The 16 inch chain is made of 14 karat yellow gold. The absence of diamond allows this piece to be worn for both formal and informal occasions while the bright, yet neutral hue of the peridot is striking and complimentary to any palette. Circa 1900
