Edwardian Blue Enamel & Pearl Pansy Pendant

The History:

A beautifully romantic Edwardian brooch conversion pendant depicting a delicate pansy blossom, with richly colored blue matte enamel petals, soft ivory centers, and intricate hand-painted details. Each petal is outlined with fine golden accents, while a luminous pearl rests at the heart of the flower, lending a lovely contrast to the vibrant enamelwork. This enameled piece consists of 14k yellow gold. 

The pansy has a particularly sentimental history in jewelry, its name derived from the French word pensée, meaning “thought.” During the Victorian era, pansies became beloved symbols of remembrance, affection, and the tender sentiment “think of me,” appearing frequently in jewelry exchanged between loved ones. This tradition of floral symbolism continued well beyond the nineteenth century, making the pansy an enduring expression of devotion. 

This Edwardian piece features authentic, hand-painted matte enamel and a genuine pearl. This piece measures just over 1" in length including the bail and 1" in width.

We recommend pairing this pendant with our Classic Gold Rolo Chain, Classic Silver Rolo Chain, Classic Slim Gold Omega Necklace, or Classic Small Gold Omega Necklace.
