Antique Edwardian Fine Gold and Diamond Heart Shaped Pendant, Circa 1915

An exquisite example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, this heart-shaped pendant, crafted circa 1915, embodies the romantic elegance and refined detail of the Edwardian period.

Fashioned in fine yellow gold, the piece features a softly contoured heart form, richly adorned with iridescent mother of pearl that radiates a subtle, natural lustre.

The heart is bordered by a delicate frame of white enamel, finely accented with a pattern of minute gold dots, adding a sense of texture and balance to the overall design.

At the centre of the pendant sits a single transitional cut diamond, bezel-set to enhance its brilliance and securely positioned to catch the light from every angle. This particular diamond cut, a precursor to the modern brilliant, was developed during the early 20th century and is known for its softly rounded facets and vintage sparkle—adding a distinctive touch of period authenticity to the piece.

The pendant’s bail is leaf-shaped, also detailed in white enamel with matching gold dot accents, complementing the main motif and allowing for graceful suspension on a fine chain. The combination of gold, enamel, and mother of pearl creates a harmonious interplay of textures and tones, evoking the subtle sophistication characteristic of Edwardian jewellery, with early hints of Art Deco precision.

Adding a deeply personal touch, the reverse side of the pendant features a locket-style compartment, designed to hold a small photograph or keepsake. The heart-shaped opening is covered with clear glass, preserving and protecting the contents within—a touching reminder of the pendant's original sentimental purpose.
