This exquisite Edwardian pansy pendant is a thoughtfully crafted pin-to-pendant conversion that enhances its delicate symbolism and beauty. Featuring GIA-certified natural, no-heat Burmese rubies with vibrant red hues and remarkable transparency (approx 0.30-0.35cts), this piece captures the elegance and sentimentality of the Edwardian era. Three near-colourless old-mine-cut diamonds (approx. 0.22-0.27cts) are gracefully set beneath the half-moon mixed-cut rubies, while a single rose-cut diamond sparkles at the centre. This unique pendant also comes with its original GIA Ruby Origin Report (Report no. 2235278051), attesting to the natural, untreated beauty of its Burmese rubies.
 
The original antique stick pin was marked and tested as 15-carat gold, and now features a handcrafted, chunky 7.5mm 18-carat yellow gold bail, designed for versatile styling on chains, clasps, or charm holders. The warmer tone of the 15-carat gold on the pansy contrasts beautifully with the yellow gold bail and the white gold wash surrounding the diamonds, creating a visual harmony that highlights the rubies’ vibrant colour—an exquisite example of old-world craftsmanship.
 
In Edwardian jewellery, the pansy flower symbolised affectionate remembrance. Derived from the French word pensée, meaning "thought," the pansy conveyed the message "thinking of you." With its elegant composition and historical sentiment, this pendant brings Edwardian romance to life in a wearable form.
