Antique Edwardian flower pendant featuring seed pearls and a pear shaped Amethyst set in rolled gold. The pendant hangs from a new 9ct gold chain.
Rolled gold is a hybrid metal consisting a thick layer of gold that is fused by heat to create one or both sides of a base metal of brass or copper. Usually rolled gold consists of 5% gold. This process was patented in England in 1817; it became popular in the 1920's and 1930's and was used in high quality vintage jewellery. Rolled gold is better quality than gold plated jewellery.
