A perfect nut pendant, this delightful jewel, sometimes referred to as a “lucky peach pit” is a magnificent example of Victorian novelty and miscellany. Once a stick pin, now a delightful pendant, the significance of the peach pit is manifold- perhaps my favorite is the link to the idea of it representing a brain. And not just any brain! A particularly academic brain with lots of nooks and crannies to get into ✨This example is in 18ct and sterling and is a very fine example, indeed!
