Victorian–Edwardian Sterling Silver Paste & Clear Glass Pendant

A rare British sterling silver pendant featuring a clear marquise-shaped glass centerpiece surrounded by finely set Victorian paste stones. The transparent center is designed in an open-back setting, allowing the glass to softly reflect the wearer’s skin tone—creating a gentle, intimate glow that shifts beautifully with light and movement.

The floral-and-bow motif reflects the romantic charm of the late Victorian period, transitioning seamlessly into the refined elegance of early Edwardian design. Light, graceful, and beautifully detailed, this pendant captures the airy, lace-like craftsmanship of its era. A distinctive antique piece that blends softness, radiance, and historic artistry into a timeless silhouette.
