This antique pendant appears to be a Georgian sepia mourning miniature, a sentimental piece of jewelry popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The sepia-toned painting on ivory or vellum depicts a romantic or mourning scene, a common theme in Georgian mourning jewelry. The delicate pearl border symbolizes tears, reinforcing its role as a remembrance piece.
While many Georgian mourning miniatures depict grieving figures, tombs, or weeping willows, this particular pendant showcases a scene of a man and woman, possibly symbolizing love, loss, or memory. The oval or navette (marquise) shape, along with its detailed craftsmanship, suggests it was likely a cherished sentimental keepsake, worn as a pendant or brooch.
