About this piece

A commemorative pendant marking the 1981 wedding of Charles and Diana, cast in hallmarked silver. The design is distinctly romantic: a suspended heart at the centre, enclosed within an ornate frame adorned with bell motifs — symbols of celebration and union. Above sits a formal bow with scrolled ribbon ends, from which three tapering leaves fan outward, lending it the air of a treasured keepsake from a moment of national pageantry.

The piece hangs from a fine silver chain and shows good condition throughout, with the expected patina of age and gentle wear consistent with careful use. The hallmarks confirm its precious metal content. A lovely example of 1980s commemorative jewellery, when such pieces marked significant royal occasions and were worn as both personal mementos and statements of the time. Simple care with a soft cloth will maintain its lustre.
