Gorgeous Etruscan Revival Diamond And Onyx Pansy Brooch/Pendant
 
This is really a stunning piece.
I have shown it as a large pendant (which I can get done - but at the moment the larger piece is a brooch)
 
Modelled in the Etruscan Revival style, the high carat gold border of the two pieces is decorated with intricate wirework, with dots and semicircles, and twisted gold.
 
The centre is set with chunky slabs of circular onyx, and decorated on both with a diamond set gold pansy - 'pense a moi' - think of me, it says. 
A wonderful remnder from admirer to keep them in mind.
 
The top brooch measures - 50mm diameter, and the removable bottom drop which can be worn as a separate pendant measures 20mm diameter.
 
The top brooch as a glass locket back to the reverse.

Probably french, circa 1870
