A substantial and weighty Victorian 18ct gold and onyx pendant, set with seed pearls around a celestial star motif and a small central stone, possibly diamond.
In Victorian jewellery stars carried associations with constancy, hope and guidance - a guiding light in darkness. Against black onyx, that symbolism becomes even stronger.
18ct gold. Central stone untested.
5.8cm x 3.5cm
Presented on a 45cm 14ct gold-filled chain
