EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pendant, captured in a stunning photo print, is a true testament to the craftsmanship and beauty of Victorian-era jewelry. Created by Charles Ricketts, a renowned English designer from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this pendant showcases his meticulous attention to detail and ornate design style. Made from gold with enamel accents, the pendant features a translucent green gem and pearl that add an extra touch of elegance. Standing at a height of 8.3 cm, it is truly a statement piece that commands attention. Originally designed to hang on the breast of Icarus in a painting, this pendant holds historical significance as it was then given to Michael (Katherine Bradley), who wore it on a delicate gold chain. Completed before December 5th, 1899, it was gifted to Miss Bradley just three days later. Now housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its intricate embellishments and decorative allure. Its timeless charm transcends eras and remains as relevant today as when it was first created over a century ago. This print allows us to appreciate every fine detail of Ricketts' masterpiece - from its elaborate design elements to its impeccable craftsmanship. It serves as both an inspiration for contemporary designers and an homage to the rich history of British jewelry making.
