This immaculate Victorian pendant, circa the late 1800s, is comprised of a 14 karat yellow gold pin with a black enamel square spiral pattern and white enamel contrasts that supports an oval piece of onyx. The onyx has a gold and seed pearl lily-of-the-valley, also known as the "ladder to heaven," which represents a return to happiness and, by extension, a reuniting with the dead.
The back of the onyx has a hidden compartment covered by a piece of glass with gold bezel. The glass is tight in its setting and does pop out for storing a memento. This piece is constructed in such a way that allows for the onyx pendant to slide off, enabling the pin to be worn alone or with a different pendant. Both components are in excellent condition.

Wearing it with care
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
We do not sell what we cannot service. Should an issue arise, please get in touch. We offer an extensive range of repair services and are here to help!
