Georgian 15ct Gold & Turquoise Heart Shaped Pendant with Locket on the Reverse

511X
80 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

Early heart shaped jewellery is very sought after and this little 15ct gold heart is no exception. It was made circa 1830 and has been set with a turquoise. Around it is a lovely engraved flower design. On the reverse is a glazed locket section that would have originally held a lock of hair. The use of turquoise literally means “Forget me not” after the flower of the same name.
