A stunning antique Victorian-era mourning pendant, beautifully crafted in silver and 18K yellow gold. The front is set with three rich cabochon-cut garnets arranged in a trefoil formation, accented by sparkling rose-cut diamonds forming a delicate floral motif at the centre.
The reverse features a small glazed locket compartment framed by a yellow gold bezel, containing original hairwork — a poignant and deeply personal detail typical of mourning jewellery from the period.
