Victorian Madeira Citrine Pendant Necklace

A large and stunning late Victorian era solid 14k gold brooch, weighing a hefty 45 grams total, and set with a giant 28 carat Madeira citrine of a deep pumpkin hue, and embellished with delicate applique floral garlands. The workmanship is extremely fine, with fine chasing and texturing to the various details. The citrine is free of blemishes and enjoys excellent fire and saturation. Much of the 14k gold surface has been acid treated for a ‘bloomed’ near-24k high carat matte finish, resulting in a gloriously rich appearance. The pendant has been paired with a thick Victorian 10k chain, and can be converted from brooch to necklace.
