Victorian Turquoise Pendant with Ribbon in 14k Gold

This late Victorian turquoise pendant centers on an engraved ribbon motif—an elegant symbol of remembrance, affection, or honor. Originally crafted as a stickpin, the piece has been thoughtfully converted into a pendant, with a newly added 14k rose-gold bail complementing the warm yellow-gold setting. The turquoise adds a soft touch of color to the hollow-form construction, typical of the period. Signs of its former life remain on the reverse, adding to its antique charm.
