Antique Two Tone Citrine and Faux Diamond Cluster Pendant-
This Victorian era pedant is so gorgeous! I really had to study this piece to make sure it hotsell really was not real, the feel and workmanship on this piece is really high quality. The detail put into a piece that isn't even real gold just show how much pride the makers had in the pieces they were making no matter what type of material they had to work with. The pendant has an openwork bottom and all the prongs are well made and in good shape for the age. Even the chain has such great detail and weight the toggle hook like clasp even has a few faux stones on it. If you are a collector of vintage costume this pendant will not disappoint!
The early Victorian period corresponded with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Jewelry, no longer made only by hand, became more affordable. The growing middle class also helped increase the demand for it. This was reflected in how women styled their jewelry; they were not afraid to adorn themselves from head to toe with stacking and layering in between. Considering the time period (this was before the California Gold Rush), a lot of pieces were made using low-karat gold or were gold-plated. Fine gold wire was also employed frequently to add to the design.
