Close to Your Heart Antique Pendant Mother of Pearl 18K Gold

This one is a quiet sort of beautiful—the kind that doesn’t beg for attention but holds you gently, steadily, like a secret kept close to the heart.

Dating to around 1900, this devotional pendant is carved from luminous mother-of-pearl, framed in a graceful quatrefoil of 18K yellow and white gold. Tiny river pearls trace the edge like a delicate halo—soft, natural, and glowing with that gentle, watery sheen that feels almost sacred. The carved religious scene at its center feels both tender and still, like a moment caught in prayer.

It measures 1 inch long and comes on a fine 19.75-inch silver chain that I’ll include as a gift with purchase. Condition is excellent with only minor signs of age.
