Edwardian 14ct Yellow Gold Split Pearl Starburst Pendant
A luminous antique 14K gold pendant in a classic starburst motif, pavé-set with natural split pearls, c.1895–1910. Originally a convertible brooch, now elegantly repurposed as a pendant, this radiant jewel blends late Victorian charm with Edwardian grace perfect for celestial jewellery lovers and antique collectors alike.
The design features a floral-meets-celestial twelve-point radiating motif, each ray tipped with a half-seed pearl and the centre domed with a cluster of creamy natural pearls in graduated sizes. The reverse shows the clean remnant of a removed brooch fitting, making it light and wearable. Stamped 14K with an “E” maker’s mark in a diamond-shaped cartouche, suggesting American or continental origin.
A refined piece for layering with antique chains or wearing alone as a statement. Beautifully suited for wedding wear, gifting, or heritage collecting.
