Georgian 18ct Gold Heart Shaped Forget Me Not Pendant set with Turquoise, Chrysolites & Amethysts

259W
315 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

This heart pendant has everything if you are a lover of Georgian jewels.  In the centre is a forget me not set with turquoise with a green gold stem and leaves on a yellow gold stippled ground. Around it are six claw set amethysts interspersed with six chrysolites within coiled gold settings.  The bale has also been set with an amethyst and two chrysolites. This was a popular combination of gem stones in the 1820s.  On the reverse is a heart shaped glazed locket that contains a lock of braided hair.

A beautiful keepsake from an admirer presented over two hundred years ago.
