Antique Victorian Turquoise Enamel Shamrock Pendant 9ct Gold

Details

A pretty antique Victorian pendant from the late 19^th Century fashioned in 9ct gold with a domed centre encrusted with blue turquoise and a wreath of white enamel shamrocks and further turquoise circling it. 

Turquoise is considered a lucky stone that brings protection and good fortune to the wearer. It has long been associated with the shamrock which is also a good luck token and was a popular gift between friends and lovers during the Victorian era. 

It’s remained in pristine condition and was originally a brooch but has been converted over time with the addition of a new turquoise studded bale at the top to create this fabulous pendant we have here today. 

We recommend you insure for £1,950. We can provide a written Valuation on completion of the sale.
