A romantic Victorian heart pendant set with a beautifully polished carnelian, displaying rich warm tones of amber and burnt orange, with a soft translucency. When the light catches the stone it glows with the deep, fiery colour that made carnelian a favourite gemstone in the 19th century.
The heart is mounted in a delicate unmarked gold setting and suspended from a 45cm fine gold-filled chain, it can be worn alone or layered. Heart motifs were particularly popular during the Victorian era, symbolising affection, devotion, and sentimental love.
A small historic drill hole is present near the top of the stone, likely from an earlier method of suspension before the current mount was added - a charming reminder of the piece’s long life.
