Edwardian Nephrite Heart Shaped Pendant set with a Ruby

712X
282 Admirers

A smart heart shaped pendant that has been been carved from a piece of nephrite. The name Nephrite comes from the Greek word ‘nephros’, which means ‘kidney’. It is commonly found in Russia, North America and New Zealand where the Maoris greatly revered this stone. The nephrite in this pendant is most likely from Russia and is a lovely deep and mottled moss green with darker spots that are typical features of the stone. The large heart was made circa 1910 and has been set with a lovely pigeon blood ruby.
