We cannot get enough of this Early Australian puffy heart pendant. First - we are suckers for those old Australian hallmarks - and that flag of Aronson and Co is such a great example. With the wheat sheaf guarantee mark of Victoria, we can see how the early white settlers in Australia brought their farming knowledge over to the gold hallmarking. Made at some point after 1903 this pendant also bears the production mark "N2" which the company became known for (with Cavill, Cox and Grace mentioning it in the Australian Jewellers book).
Set with pearls and green old cut gems (could be paste, emerald or tourmaline) and pearls which were super fashionable at the turn of the century in women's jewellery as purple, green and white were the colours worn to support the suffragette movement.
So old Early Australian and in support of women's rights - we are HERE for this pendant.

FAQ
Sizing
What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.
We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
