Victorian 15ct Gold & White Enamel Heart Pendant set with a Ruby & Diamonds

565Z
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 15ct gold heart shaped pendant that was made circa 1880. It has been set with a pear shaped ruby surrounded by eleven  old mine cut diamonds. The outside edge is white enamel with gold dots. It would most likely have been a wedding gift as the white enamel signifies purity, the ruby is for love and the diamonds are for longevity.
