Queen Victoria Memorial Silver Pendant (1901)

$60.00

This pendant captures a moment of collective mourning and remembrance from the dawn of the 20th century. Created to commemorate the life and reign of Queen Victoria (1819–1901), it features her photographic portrait sealed beneath protective glass and framed within a finely crafted silver bezel. The reverse bears her royal monogram VR with key milestones — from birth and accession to her passing — forming a timeline of an era that shaped the modern Commonwealth.

Each mark of age tells of a century of wear, care, and reverence. Whether worn as a keepsake or displayed as an artifact, it stands as a quiet testament to history, craftsmanship, and enduring memory.
