Antique Pendants Views
The Victorian jewelry era saw pendants come into fashion when they were often worn in multiples on necklaces. Lockets were also a much loved accessory of this era, and were sometimes worn underneath clothing to protect the cherished keepsake from prying public eyes. By the Art Deco period, long pendants were very popular. Whether worn on a choker or a long chain, antique pendants and lockets evoke a romantic and sometimes religious sentimentalism.

This antique quartz and diamond pendant is like one of the ornate doorknockers that might have heralded visitors to Dickensian front entryways. Done in a hexagonal shape, the precious metal portion of this antique pendant is carved in an eclectic mix of elements. The domed top culminates in a fleur de lis. Hanging suspended in the center is a lace-trimmed square set round single cut diamond. A calfus head tablet natural quartz with starburst provides the backdrop for antique pendants like this one.
