Antique Australian 9ct Bloomed Gold Heart Pendant with Rubies on Original Chain | Robert Rollason & Co. Ltd

Why we chose it: A charming antique Australian treasure, this 9ct bloomed gold heart pendant exudes warmth and sentiment. Bloomed gold was a popular finishing technique in the late 1800s, giving jewellery a distinctive soft, matte, peachy glow. The effect was achieved by dipping the gold piece into a boiling mixture of acids, salts, and water, which removed surface alloys and left a thin, pure gold layer. Its subtle matte sheen comes from countless microscopic pits, creating a delicate, warm finish that is uniquely antique. The pendant is set with vibrant rubies that add sparkle and colour, while the heart shape reflects timeless romantic appeal. Crafted by Australian jeweller Robert Rollason, Rollason & Co. Ltd, it comes with its original 40 cm chain featuring a classic barrel clasp, preserving its authenticity and historical charm. A perfect collectible for lovers of antique jewellery or anyone seeking a meaningful gift.
