Edwardian Turquoise & Seed Pearl Purse Pendant

Miniature novelty pendants were a charming feature of Edwardian jewellery, reflecting the era’s fascination with finely crafted, playful objects rendered in precious materials. Purse pendants such as this were often worn on a long chain and could hold a tiny keepsake, token, or sentimental memento. The use of turquoise, long associated with protection and good fortune, alongside delicate seed pearls, symbolic of purity and sentiment, adds to the piece’s gentle romantic character. Beautifully engineered, this example remains fully functioning, opening and closing securely just as it would have done over a century ago.
