    This pendant is about 1 inch tall and 1 inch wide, weighs 8.4 grams, unmarked, tests 14K. My gemologist said rose cut diamonds, SI1-I1 clarity, OP color, 1/3 carat center diamond, the rest of the diamonds 1 carat, for a total or 1 1/3 carats. Unfortunate about those scratches at the bottom. Didn't even see them until I took the photos.

    What time period do you think this is from? I am guessing Victorian, but that's a broad range. Saw a few similar via Google Lens described as 1880s, Victorian, late Georgian/Early Victorian. Same as with my other pendant thread, any comments welcome, and any pricing thoughts appreciated but I understand that is not the norm here.

    Thank you!

    Lovely! I love hearts and rose cut diamonds. This combination is amazing!
    Maybe I would say its made in the early to mid Victorian times because of the way the diamonds are cut and the way they are arranged around the heart.
    But with these kind of jewels an exact time frame is difficult to give.

    Hard to tell the age since it is a copy made from a mold of the original.

    Thanks all for your comments.
    @Hollyblue
    Do I understand you correctly that there was an original hand made pendant, and this one is made from a mold of that original? Also, how can you tell, if it's not too difficult to explain. Thank you.

    The original engraved line would be sharp and clean,on your piece the lines appear to have casting bubbles at the bottom of the cuts.
