A Russian enamel and diamond set heart pendant, accented with an old-cut diamond, to a red sunburst guilloché enamel ground, silver mounted, with 88 standard kokoshnik mark for St. Petersburg, 1908 - 1926, and possible Fabergé maker's mark, length 3.2cm

Please note that we cannot confirm whether the maker's mark is for Fabergé, as this could be a pseudo mark or later added mark.

The enamel has an orangey-red hue with surface wear, scuffs and nicks, and occasional deeper nicks, but with no apparent losses.
