Jewellery with varicoloured stones is also known as Harlequin jewellery, after the colourful costume of the character of the same name in the Commedia dell'arte. Such multicolored jewels first became particularly popular in the 1820s and 1830s. When the fashion of this period was revived in the early 20th century, varicoloured jewellery became popular once more. In this early 20th century necklace, pale blue, brilliant aquamarines that sparkle like drops of water are set next to dark, forest green tourmalines. Each gemstone swings beneath a ruby and a pearl. In between, delicate gold chains are suspended in a garland shape and form the actual motif of the necklace. The use of aquamarines and tourmalines, as well as the fine chains, were innovations at the turn of the century, and the festoon necklace was a typical form of jewellery at this time. This delicate necklace was probably created in Great Britain. We were able to discover it in London.
