The reign of England's King Edward VII was short but glorious. In the years from 1901 to 1910, the British Empire was at the zenith of its power and economic success. Pieces of jewellery were produced in unprecedented numbers and still inspire with their specific elegance today. As is so often the case, the island also went its own way in the field of jewellery, which, although influenced by developments on the continent, nevertheless reveals an unmistakably British taste. Art Nouveau brought floral lightness. However, its sweeping asymmetry was rarely adopted. Instead, jewellery designers preferred geometric shapes or references to the 18th century. The present necklace is a typical representative of this era. Playing with geometric figures was obviously the aim of the talented designer. A finely openwork pendant made of aquamarines and small natural pearls is attached to a fine cord chain. The elegant piece is made from the typical British gold alloy of 9 carat (375/000). Its combination of playful lightness and geometric severity creates a graceful piece of jewellery that still looks surprisingly modern today.
