Description

This very beautiful silver pendant is set with numerous small faceted Rhine stones, it is articulated in two parts, the first in the shape of a knot and under this a suspended heart, the whole held by a bail in which a formerly slid black velvet ribbon. According to Michael Fieggen in his book entitled: “The Jewels of the French” this is a rare piece of jewelry which was perhaps worn by Protestant women. It is struck, on the top of the knot, with a boar's head hallmark in force since 1838 and on the back of the heart it bears a diamond-shaped maker's mark. Three very small stones are missing, but it is almost invisible to the eye. The velvet ribbon and the chain are not sold with the pendant.
Dimensions 8.5cm x 4.5cm.
