An unusual and beautifully detailed Victorian coin purse pendant, once part of an exquisite chatelaine, is crafted in rich 14K gold and studded with natural rubies and old mine–cut diamonds. This charming miser’s purse / chateliane pendant features an elaborately engraved forget-me-not floral motif on the frame, accented with approximately 1 carat of vivid ruby gemstones and .26 carats of sparkling old mine–cut diamonds.
The body of the purse is formed from interlinked gold hoops, creating a flexible mesh that opens via a hinged top to reveal a clever double-compartment interior. Perfectly sized to hold coins—or a small sentimental keepsake—it’s as functional as it is captivating. Five articulated gold pommels sway from the bottom, adding wonderful movement, and a loop on the engraved reverse allows it to be worn on a chain as a pendant. This rare piece is a delightful blend of history, craftsmanship, and Victorian charm.
