Georgian/Early Victorian Silver and Paste Puffy Heart Pendant
Here I have an antique puffy heart pendant, made from silver and set with white paste stones. The setting area has a lovely pie-crust fluted border and though some of the pastes have dulled/yellowed with age, most are still good and sparkly. It’s unmarked, but acid tests as silver.
Measures 2.1cm long (not including the bale at the top), and 2.0cm at the widest point. Weighs 4 grams.
Condition: Very good uncleaned antique condition. There’s a small dent to one side, but being on the edge it’s not particularly noticeable. AS mentioned, some pastes have dulled/yellowed over time. Overall, it just has the usual wear and tarnish which you’d expect on an antique item.
