The chain complements the pendant beautifully, balancing visual weight with elegant movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant itself is formed as a geometric lozenge (diamond) shape, with softly chamfered edges and a smooth, satin-like gold finish that enhances its understated sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of the design sits a raised square plaque, set with five old cut diamonds arranged in a cross formation. The diamonds have a total approximate weight of 1.05 carats and display the characteristic charm of old cuts, with gentle brilliance and depth rather than sharp modern sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach diamond is individually set within square gold collets, slightly elevated from the surface to allow light to enter from multiple angles, enhancing their natural fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse of the pendant is equally considered, featuring a glazed circular locket-style panel, allowing a view into the interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thoughtful detail is typical of the era and adds both sentiment and craftsmanship to the piece, offering space that would historically have held a miniature, lock of hair, or personal memento. The pendant is suspended from a robust, tapered bale that integrates seamlessly into the overall design, ensuring secure and graceful wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant, architectural, and rich in historical character, this fine gold pendant necklace combines strong geometric form with delicate diamond detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts balanced proportions, antique diamonds, and beautifully finished front and reverse make it a rare and highly wearable example of late 19th-century jewellery, offering both visual presence and timeless appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximate length: 42cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct code: 156x0477\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GoodwinsAntiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52958706237787,"sku":"156x0477","price":6950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/0238\/8571\/files\/2026-05-20_13-06-34_B_Radius8_Smoothing4.jpg?v=1791539908","url":"https:\/\/goodwinsantiques.com\/products\/antique-victorian-fine-gold-1-05ct-diamond-pendant-necklace-circa-1875","provider":"Goodwin Antiques Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
