Description

This Edwardian emerald pendant is a finely detailed antique piece with an elegant openwork design. Rectangular-cut emeralds sit across the centre in a balanced arrangement, while seed pearls and small diamond accents decorate the surrounding floral border. The pendant is suspended from a period 9ct gold chain, creating a beautifully cohesive antique necklace.

Design & Craftsmanship

The pendant has an oval openwork construction formed from fine gold wirework, giving the design a light and delicate appearance. Five rectangular emeralds create the main focal point, while clusters of seed pearls soften the geometry. Darkened leaf motifs, set with small old cut diamond accents, add contrast around the outer edge. Meanwhile, the open framework allows light to pass through the pendant and highlights the individual settings. The accompanying gold chain has a fine linked construction with a period-style barrel clasp, complementing the pendant particularly well.

Why We Love This Piece

This early 20th century necklace combines several features that make Edwardian jewellery so wearable today. The emeralds provide clear colour, while the seed pearls keep the overall effect refined. The open construction also prevents the pendant from feeling heavy. The original-style chain adds further period character and gives the piece a more complete antique feel.

How to Style

This Edwardian emerald pendant suits someone who prefers delicate antique jewellery with visible craftsmanship and colour. It works well as an everyday necklace, although the emeralds and seed pearls also give it enough presence for evening wear,  special occasions or even as bridal jewellery. The fine gold chain positions the pendant neatly at the base of the neck, so it can be worn alone or layered with other antique chains. Emerald is also the traditional birthstone for May, which adds another gifting option.
