Jewellery with pearls and coloured stones in yellow gold was very fashionable at the turn of the last century, especially in Great Britain. The shapes were the same as those in diamond-set evening jewellery in platinum, but in gold and set with pearls, they also became wearable for daytime. The necklace shown here may have been worn by a British lady in the years shortly after 1900 when she was invited to tea, naturally with her lace-embellished afternoon dress. Diamonds were not appropriate for this occasion; they were reserved for the evening hours. If you still wanted to show off your style and fashion sense, elaborate gold jewellery, each pearl set by hand and set with beautiful yet comparatively modest amethysts, was ideal: you could hardly have found more suitable ornaments. The beautiful necklace is in very good condition and transports a little of the elegance of Edwardian England into the present day. It was made in the early years of the 20th century, and the fineness of the gold, which was only used in Great Britain until 1932, confirms its early origin.
