This exquisite Edwardian pendant is a rare find, combining elegant design with intricate craftsmanship. The front of the pendant showcases a radiant platinum star adorned with bright, well-matched diamonds, perfectly set to capture and reflect light. Surrounding the star, a stunning filigree design is embellished with additional rose-cut diamonds, enhancing the piece's brilliance.
The pendant's front is further elevated by vibrant green guilloché enamel, framed by white enamel along the outer edge and the bail, creating a striking contrast that draws the eye. The back of the pendant features a hidden locket compartment, perfect for storing cherished keepsakes. Crafted from 18-carat gold and platinum, the pendant has been carefully tested to confirm its materials, although it bears no visible hallmarks.
While this antique piece has some tiny nibbles on a few of the diamonds and minor dings to the gold case at the back—common for a piece of this age—these details do not detract from its overall allure. The guilloché enamel remains in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear. Please note that the locket compartment may require careful handling; ensure it is securely closed to protect your keepsakes. If it becomes tricky to open, you can gently loosen it with a pin.
This diamond star pendant is a true Edwardian treasure, combining historical charm with timeless elegance. It's a rare piece that promises to become a cherished part of your jewelry collection.
