Victorian 14k Gold Stone and Pearl Pendant

The lovely rich green color of the variscite stone is intermixed with a cream and chocolate brown matrix on this Victorian era pendant. Sometimes mistaken for turquoise, the variscite stone is relatively rare and not as well known. As such, it is not often seen set in jewelry. This wonderful gem is set in a hand etched 14k gold frame. The acanthus leaf and triangle forms beautifully decorate the frame and is accented with four pearls.
