The heart of this silver flower pendant is set with an oval-cut garnet, which is placed in a gold setting. Surrounding this garnet are several silver petals and leaves, which form a crown around the heart of the flower. Each petal and vine is set with a rose-cut diamond, faceted in a different size and shape to match its spot perfectly.
This ornament was originally likely part of a larger jewel, possibly a stomacher, since the bale and jump ring were added at a later date.
This pendant is currently being offered without a necklace: feel free to reach out if you would like to add a necklace to your purchase to discuss the available options.
