The pendant used to belong to Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna of Russia and Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The Grand Duchess was the mother of Queen Alexandrine of Denmark. It's facet-cut and in the form of a drop and also includes rose-cut and old-cut diamonds in a stylized leaf and flower pattern. It's set in gold and silver and believed to have been made around the year 1900. Its main use was probably as a pendant for a brooch but could also be worn attached to a pearl necklace. Please correct me if the terms used are wrong. I'm not very good at translating jewellery themed terms from Scandinavian to English.
