Victorian Chrysoberyl Pendant

The Story This lovely Chrysoberyl Victorian (circa 1880) is decorative enough to make a statement, but delicate enough for everyday wear. Chrysoberyl is was a popular choice in Victorian jewelry in both the Cat's Eye and faceted variety thanks to the Duke of Connaught's use of the Cat's Eye version as engagement ring for his fiance'. We love how the delicate yellow-green of this 1.00 carat Chrysoberyl plays so well with the detailed 14 karat yellow gold setting. Influenced by another trend of the time, the setting is a lovely Etruscan Revival piece, featuring delicate twisted wire and granulated bead work to add texture and dimension.   The Details  14 karat yellow gold Chrysoberyl, approximately 1.00 carats 1.29 grams 0.88 inches length (including bail) x 0.57 inches width Circa 1880.
