A unique and symbolic piece, this early 20th-century naval crown pendant sparkles with 7 old-cut diamonds and 7 rose-cut diamonds, masterfully set in platinum on the crown's front and 15ct gold on the back. Converted from a sweetheart brooch, this piece retains its romantic charm while now serving as a regal pendant. The newly fitted bail, crafted from 18ct gold, makes it ready to wear on your favourite chain.
The naval crown is not just a striking design but also steeped in history and symbolism. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, jewellery featuring crowns often conveyed messages of loyalty, victory, and rank. Specifically, naval crowns symbolised maritime triumphs and were a nod to nautical heritage, making this piece particularly significant for those with ties to the sea or an appreciation for antique maritime jewellery.
Perfectly blending history, symbolism, and elegance, this pendant is a fabulous find for collectors and vintage enthusiasts alike.
