Victorian Moonstone Cameo Classical Bust Pendant in 18ct Yellow Gold

A fine moonstone cameo in the form of an elegant female classical bust portrait forms the centrepiece of this immensely wearable pendant. Originally an elegant stick pin from the late Victorian period, this was designed to take pride of place in the lapel of a jacket. Crafted in 18ct yellow gold, this beautiful jewel conveys the essence of classical beauty, with the lustrous hair and head scarf of the figure intricately depicted. The ethereal beauty of moonstone was hugely admired by the Victorians, with the sought-after schiller associating the gemstone with protection. Expertly converted by the Pragnell workshops into a stylish pendant, this has been paired with a simple 18ct yellow gold 46cm chain.
