Antique 14K Gold Seed Pearl Starburst Brooch–Pendant (2.75 g, Maker’s Mark “A”)

This exquisite antique starburst brooch–pendant dates to the Victorian period. Crafted in solid 14K yellow gold and set with luminous natural seed pearls, it showcases the elegant celestial motifs that were especially beloved during the turn of the century.

The piece features twelve tapered rays, each pavé-set with graduated pearls, radiating from a central larger pearl. The back includes an articulated bail for pendant wear and its original brooch pin with a secure early safety clasp. It is hallmarked 14K along with a distinctive maker’s mark: an “A” inside an oval, attributed to a period goldsmith workshop.

Lightweight, elegant, and full of antique charm, this dual-function jewel is a beautiful example of fine craftsmanship from the era.

Starburst jewelry symbolized light, protection, and brilliance during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This piece embodies that meaning with its glowing seed pearls and elegant gold form. Its convertible design makes it both collectible and versatile—wear it as a brooch or as a pendant for a striking antique statement.
