This necklace dates back to the elegant era captured by Giovanni Boldini or John Singer Sargent in their portraits of refined society ladies. Edwardian ladies wore flowing, elegant dresses in delicate colors, and a hint of lilac fragrance (in a very modern, synthetic form, by the way, which was just conquering the world of fragrances at the time, because the scent of lilac is difficult to extract for the production of perfume; even Oscar Wilde wore synthetic lilac fragrance!). Those who could afford it wore jewellery with real gemstones in gold. This necklace is just such a piece of jewellery for the elegant lady of the years shortly after 1900. Its airy yet modern design wonderfully captures the lively esprit of the time. A large round pendant holds a ring made from a garland of flowers, pearls and amethysts. It is mounted on a fine chain, each side of which is accompanied by drop-cut amethysts, whose golden settings reveal the influence of Art Nouveau. The amethysts have a beautiful, intense lilac color. It goes without saying that these are natural stones. This wonderful necklace was created in Great Britain at the beginning of the 20th century and is a typical piece of jewellery from the so-called Edwardian Era between 1901 and 1910. We were able to discover it in London.
