Antique Ivy Leaf Necklace of 14k Gold

A graceful tribute to enduring love and remembrance, this antique necklace (circa 1870–1900) features a beautifully detailed pendant of three ivy leaves, and nestled among the gold foliage are delicate turquoise forget-me-not flowers, long associated with true love, memory, and sentiment.

The pendant is crafted in solid 14k gold, while the 18-inch chain—a later addition—is composed of 9ct gold, confirmed through XRF and acid testing. Together, they create a piece that balances historical charm with modern wearability.

The necklace is in quite good antique condition, with rich color and detail retained throughout. On the reverse of the ivy pendant, there is a small area of lead solder, a subtle sign of early repair work that speaks to the piece’s age and long history of love and care.

Perfect for collectors of Victorian-era jewelry, botanical symbolism, or anyone seeking a meaningful antique necklace with lasting beauty and emotional resonance.

Materials: turquoise, 9ct gold, 14k gold, gold.
