Tear of Joy : Antique Teardrop Lace Pendant with Old Cut Diamond and Pearl
AU$550 – AU$675Approximately US$367 - US$450
Glimmering and dainty, this lace-like teardrop pendant is an unusual combination of openwork and yellow gold. Set with a shimmering wild ocean pearl and accented with a small winking old cut diamond. In my fanciful imagination this is what a tear of joy would look like. This pendant was converted from an Edwardian Era stick pin, circa 1900.
An optional vintage 14ct yellow gold chain is available, the chain is the perfect hue and weight to compliment the pendant.
