Antique Victorian 15ct Gold Sapphire & Diamond Heart Pendant with 9ct Gold Chain – Chester 1898/99

A beautiful antique Victorian heart pendant, crafted in solid 15ct yellow gold and fully hallmarked in Chester for 1898–1899. Rich in Victorian sentiment and symbolism, the heart is elegantly star set with a natural blue sapphire, surrounded by sparkling old-cut diamonds in a timeless celestial design that beautifully captures the romance and craftsmanship of the late 19th century.

The pendant is paired with a matching antique solid 9ct gold rope chain, making it ready to wear and an increasingly desirable complete set. The warm yellow gold perfectly complements the rich blue sapphire and lively old-cut diamonds, while the classic heart motif makes this a meaningful and highly wearable piece of antique jewelry.

Beautifully preserved in excellent antique condition, this is a wonderful example of Victorian antique jewelry, equally suited as a cherished gift, an everyday pendant, or an exceptional addition to any antique jewellery collection.
