GEORGIAN Antique 10k GOLD Purple Paste Amethyst Dangle Pendant Domed Foil Backed Violet

ABOUT:

Beautiful Georgian era purple paste antique pendant with 10k rosy gold domed collet settings. Typical for the period with foil backing to provide a sparkle and reflectivity. They have a lovely color.

These came from another piece with the loop added in the modern era. I have a matching pair of earrings listed separately if a set is desired. I purchased them this way / already converted so I am not sure what the piece was before these components were used but the end product is beautiful with a lovely movement. The two paste gems, meant to look like amethyst, are connected by loop to dangle independently. It is a rich and deep violet purple / grape color.

Lovely rosy patina to the gold, no hallmarks but tested 10k gold.

SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:

The stones are large with a lovely color sparkle and cut measuring about 11mm diameter by 8.5mm, the settings are 5mm deep. Comparatively speaking, each stone faces up around the size / dimensions of a 2 carat oval stone, exact carat weight is unknown but this gives you an idea of scale.

They weigh 2.1 grams. It measures 23mm in length from the top of the attached loop to the bottom drop, it has three jump rings that add length to that.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:

As with all my pieces this is in estate condition. The stones are in nice condition for age with a lovely sheen and polish and a gorgeous and reflective color. The top stone has a few tiny chips / nicks seen mostly under magnification, the other shows very little wear so considering age and that they are paste, they are in quite good condition as they can often be found abraided or dull. Some patina to the settings, solder at the connection points in the fabrication, etc.

Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )

Please feel free watch @mouseshouseantiques on Instagram for inventory drops, sneak peaks and previews! And check out my website www.MousesHouseAntiques.com as I can add more pics there so you can get extra looks : )

All items hand picked by me, one at a time from all over the world. All listings individually written by me, and not AI, after studying each piece to discuss its beauties and its ; ) eccentricities (which I am picky to point out).

Many of my listings include group shots – I find the comparisons between pieces help show scale, diamond hues, etc. All items in group shots are inventory, but refer to the website to see what items have sold out and to watch for new listings from the grouping to appear on the home page.
