Antique Pendants & Charms

Antique pendants and charms often reflect the fashions and symbolism of their period, from Victorian fobs, hearts and crosses to Edwardian gemstone pendants and more intricate decorative pieces. The collection includes examples in gold, sterling silver and platinum, with designs ranging from small charms to larger pendants intended as a focal point on a chain.

Many older charms were made with more than one way of wearing them in mind. A fob might originally have hung from a watch chain, while a small charm could now work equally well on a bracelet or necklace. Original loops, bails and clips can therefore be an important part of both the design and how the piece can be worn today.
