Harlequin jewellery is named after the colourful costumes of the 16th century comedy actors of the same name. The style was popular during the 19th Century and saw wonderful pieces of jewellery abundantly decorated in coloured gemstones.
The pendant is fashioned in silver and 9ct gold and features beautiful, foliate workmanship and a bow at the bottom. It dates to the early 1900s and comes with a new 18ct gold chain to display it on.
