Victorian Pique Heart Pendant

174X/PR
170 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty and plump tortoiseshell heart shaped pendant that has been inlaid with various motifs around the edge on both sides. When Prince Albert died it became fashionable to wear black jewellery in sympathy with Queen Victoria’s loss. Many items were produced in Whitby jet and tortoiseshell which at first were plain and then, as the century wore on the items became more decorative and were inlaid with gold and silver and mother of pearl to lighten the look.

This double sided heart pendant was made circa 1870 and is in excellent condition.
