AN EARLY 20TH CENTURY PEARL AND DIAMOND MEMORIAL PENDANT
The central navette shaped panel with diamond-set C beneath a marquess' coronet motif raised on a hair ground beneath a rock crystal cover, to the diamond line border and similarly-set scrolling frame intermittently-set with single pearl accents, with detachable old and rose-cut diamond suspension loop, the reverse with hinged cover opening to reveal a portrait miniature of a gentleman, mounted in silver and gold, circa 1915, 9.7cm long, original fitted case from Garrard & Co Ltd., two of the eight pearls are imitation replacements

Theresa Susey Helen, Marchioness of Londonderry (1856-1919) and by descent.

Note du spécialiste

The miniature depicts Charles, 6th Marquess of Londonderry, this was almost certainly given by him to his wife Theresa, Marchioness of Londonderry.
