Like every country, Great Britain also showed its own expression of Art Nouveau, the Arts & Crafts movement, in the years around 1900. Like the Pre-Raphaelites in painting, a little later the craftsmen of Victorian England wanted to turn away from the constantly repeated motifs and ornaments of the previous decades and overcome them through innovation. In contrast to French Art Nouveau designs of the time, for example, Arts & Crafts creations were characterized by simplified, abstracted forms. As many modern designs were marketed by the Liberty department store, they are also referred to as "Liberty Style". One of the most important designers was Archibald Knox, whose designs are also strongly reminiscent of this pendant. Knox frequently used the two leaves at the top of the design in particular; in English-speaking countries, the motif is called "stylized honesty", the stylized heart-shaped leaf of the perennial honesty (Lunaria rediviva). A shimmering pearl shell and a small natural pearl with a baroque shape complete the design. We discovered this beautiful piece of jewellery in London and added a delicate gold chain to it.
