A striking vintage Victorian-style portrait pendant, featuring a reproduction image inspired by Nanette Kaulla (1812–1876) — painted in 1829 for the famous Schönheitengalerie.
Nanette Kaulla was the daughter of banker and Hoffaktor Raphael Kaulla and a notable figure of her time, later connected by marriage to the family of Heinrich Heine. Her portrait became part of a celebrated gallery of beauty, making her image a lasting symbol of 19th-century elegance.
This pendant features a printed portrait under a smooth domed finish, set within an ornate gold-tone frame with faux pearl detailing, evoking the romance of Victorian and Edwardian jewellery. The piece is vintage costume jewellery, created as a decorative homage to historic portraiture rather than an original antique miniature.
A beautifully atmospheric piece — perfect for lovers of history-inspired, gothic or romantic jewellery.
✨ Presented in a gift box, ready to give or collect.
