An enchanting relic of late 19th to early 20th-century glamour, this violet-hued pendant necklace is a breathtaking ode to the elegance of the Belle Époque. At its heart hangs a luminous, mixed pear-cut paste drop, gently glimmering in shades of lavender and amethyst. The pendant is adorned with ornate floral carvings at the top - delicate, romantic details that lend a sense of artistry and femininity.
 
Suspended from a decorative filigree bale and strung on a chain with intricate paste-beaded detailing, the piece is opera length, allowing the pendant to rest low on the sternum for a dramatic, elongating effect. The pear-shaped drop itself measures an impressive 50 x 29mm, making it a statement in both scale and beauty.
 
Though this piece bears small chips and nibbles - testaments to its age and well-loved past - these signs of wear are discreet and do not diminish its presence when worn. Instead, they add to its character, echoing the stories and soirées it has likely seen.
 
This is a necklace for those who dream in sepia tones and antique velvet; a jewel of quiet drama and timeless charm, ready to add a whisper of vintage romance to any modern collection.
