Rare Victorian 14K Gold "Lantern" Filigree Cage Charm with Honey Citrine
Rare Victorian 14K Gold "Lantern" Filigree Cage Charm with Honey Citrine
Step into a world of Victorian whimsy with this exquisite 14K Gold Filigree Lantern Charm. A true masterpiece of late 19th-century craftsmanship, this "Cage" style pendant features a vibrant, hand-faceted Honey Citrine encased in a stunningly detailed architectural frame. Historically worn on a watch chain or as a romantic token, this charm is a "glowing" piece of history.
• At the heart of the cage sits a substantial, round-faceted Natural Citrine. The stone possesses a deep, golden-honey hue that captures and holds the light beautifully.
• The 14K gold frame is an intricate work of open-work filigree, featuring scrolling foliate and acanthus leaf motifs. The "Cage" design allows the light to pass through the stone from all angles, maximizing its natural brilliance.
• Often called a lantern or beehive charm, this teardrop silhouette provides a bold, three-dimensional profile that stands out on any chain.
• Era: Late Victorian (Circa 1890–1900).
• Material: Solid 14K Yellow Gold (Tested and Authenticated).
• Hallmarks: Clearly stamped "14K".
• Hand-Faceted Natural Citrine.
• Perfect Antique Condition. The filigree is crisp with no breaks or thinning, and the Citrine is free of chips or scratches. It has been professionally inspected to ensure the stone is secure.
• Weight: 2.2Grams.
• Size: Approximately 7/8” inches long — (Comparable to a US Penny as shown in photos).
This is the ultimate "soulful" pendant. While it looks incredible on a modern gold chain, its true Victorian spirit shines when added to an antique Niello chain or a heavy gold watch fob. Because of its 360-degree design, it is a piece that looks beautiful from every angle, making it a perfect conversation starter.
