♥ Converted from a vintage Victorian Taille d'Epargné piece, these two pendants are made from 14K gold and feature unique black enamel in a classic Victorian design
♥ The pendant measures 21.2mm long (North South direction), 15.1mm wide (East West direction), and sits 5.8mm tall.
♥ Material: 14K gold
♥ Gemstone: The gem in the center looks to be manmade, not a natural gemstone
♥ Note: The necklace chain is sold separately. You can purchase the solid 14K gold chain as an option, or use one of your existing chains for the pendant.
♥♥ Taille d’épargne, sometimes referred to as black enamel, translates from the French literally as "saving cut". It is a variation of champlevé whereby engraved lines forming a design are incised into the metal and are filled with opaque enamel – usually black. This technique was popular during the 1850s, often used to decorate bracelets, watch cases, chatelaines, and mourning jewelry. ♥♥
