The British Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company Ltd. was based in the elegant shopping street of Regent Street in London's West End. The company was known for always offering the finest goods in the taste of the time and even supplied the English court. The upper middle classes also chose luxurious jewellery from its richly illustrated catalogs. In 1952, the company merged with the court jeweler Garrard, who had produced a crown for Queen Victoria, among other things, and from whose range Princess Diana was later to choose her engagement ring. The present necklace was made between 1901 and 1910: we know this because it has survived in its matching case with the Royal Warrant on the inside lid, which refers to the King. After Queen Victoria's death, Edward VII succeeded to the throne in 1901. In terms of style, the necklace is also entirely in keeping with the taste of the "Edwardian Era". Its light, lively shapes and choice of materials are as typical of the period as they can be. The basic design focuses on the large pendant, which swings beneath a small flower. It is made up of tendril ornaments that are completely covered with fine seed pearls. A round amethyst is set in the heart of the pendant, which is held in place by a millegrain frame. A golden yellow drop-cut citrine hangs below. The design shines richly and warmly thanks to additional fine gold plating on the already high-carat gold. The necklace is solid and has a high-quality finish. It has been preserved in its original case as if not a day has passed since it left the gates of 112 Regent Street.
