18K Yellow Gold Flying Dove Pearl & Turquoise Necklace

An enchanting emblem of peace and devotion, this rare large flying dove pendant spreads its wings in luminous 18K yellow gold, its feathers delicately encrusted with pearls. From its beak, a single pearl dangles like a captured drop of moonlight. Measuring 30x37mm (about 1.18" x 1.46"), this majestic bird is crowned by a turquoise flower, symbolizing protection and good fortune, from which it gracefully hangs on two fine, ornate link chains.

The entire pendant drop, including its delicate suspending chains, is 2.25 inches, and the necklace itself is 16 inches long, crafted from the same intricate fancy link chains for a harmonious finish. Weight: 8.72 grams.

A symbol with centuries of romance. In Victorian and Edwardian jewelry, the dove was cherished as a messenger of love and fidelity, often exchanged between sweethearts or gifted as a token of hope during long separations. The pearl has long symbolized purity and wisdom, while turquoise was treasured as a stone of protection and enduring friendship. Together, they create a pendant that speaks the language of the heart.
