A breathtaking example of early Tiffany & Co. craftsmanship, this authentic Victorian pendant dates to around 1850 and features a richly saturated blue banded agate orb set in gleaming hand-wrought 22 karat gold. Passed down from my great-great-grandmother, this rare and luminous piece carries both personal provenance and historic significance.
The globe-shaped agate—deep ocean blue with subtle, natural striations of white and cobalt—measures approximately 4 cm from top to base and 6 cm at its widest. It is cradled in a lotus-flower inspired bezel, each petal delicately formed in buttery 22k gold, symbolic of purity and spiritual rebirth. The gold stem curls downward into a sculptural loop, giving the entire piece a sense of both botanical realism and timeless elegance.
This piece likely began its life as part of a chatelaine, watch fob, or mourning jewel, but stands beautifully on its own as a pendant or collector’s display. Tiffany’s early work rarely surfaces in this condition, and the quality of the materials—22K gold and natural banded agate—makes this a true investment piece.
This reflects the confirmed Tiffany provenance, 22k gold setting, museum-worthy age (pre-Civil War), and desirability among collectors of Victorian-era and early Tiffany jewelry. You may also consider offering insured shipping with signature confirmation due to the item’s rarity.
