Victorian Natural Baroque Pearl “Jester” Pendant, circa 1850
RESERVED
Admittedly, this is one you either love or loath – and we absolutely love it! The unusually shaped natural (saltwater) pearl has been creatively formed into a jester’s head. His skullcap is set with fourteen cut diamonds in silver. Blue sapphire eyes gleam above the strong “nose” while a cabochon coral tongue cheekily pokes from the gold lips. A further twelve diamonds are set in the ruff collar. Utterly inspired!
Comes with either 16″ or 18″ gold chain – please specify which you would prefer with your order.
Accompanied by a Pearl Report from Gemmoligical Certification Services (GCS) stating the pear is natural (saltwater).
