This Arts & Crafts necklace has a very stylized heart motif, entwined with an oval, centered by a peridot, with a peridot dangle. It is marked “9ct” and has a maker’s mark of “B.H.J.” Though it’s hard to tell in most of the photos, this is very rosy gold! Some of the reddest that I’ve seen. From the top of the bale to the bottom of the drop it measures 1-3/4” by 1” across the widest point. The 2 peridots show a little bit of abrasion, but considering their age, they are in very good condition... Click for details

Gold Garnet and Pearl Arts & Crafts Pendant, Marks

Estate Jewelry: Gold: Arts and Crafts Pre 1910: item #769883
RN08133

Here we have a pretty 9k yellow gold pendant. It shows a bit of Edwardian or Victorian influence, with its 3 tiny seed pearls in their flower settings, but the design is very much Arts & Crafts. It is centered by a dark red garnet, possibly a spessartite. The dangle is set with a blister pearl of a mellow grayish white. It is hallmarked “9ct”, and the attached chain is marked “375 9k” (which is odd – possibly the chain was made somewhere other than the USA or the UK?). The pendant measures 1-5/1...
