Every country and every era brought forth its own fashions, which sometimes differed more, sometimes less from those of other countries and eras. One particularly British fashion was the preference for jewellery made of warmly glowing yellow gold, set with pearls and pastel-colored gemstones. This necklace, which we discovered in London, is a particularly beautiful example of this. The design combines sparkling sky-blue aquamarines and delicately shimmering natural pearls. An elegant centerpiece is set into a fine anchor chain. Five intensely colored aquamarines in an oval star cut sit here in delicate gold settings, connected by golden elements set with small white pearls. The three central aquamarines are also fitted with movable pendulums, which in turn display small pearls and drop-cut aquamarines. This interplay of movement, light and color gives the necklace a special liveliness. This piece of jewellery is typical of British jewelry from the early 20th century, during the reign of Edward VII (1901-1910). Of course, this fashion was not limited to England: The case of the necklace from the range of the Toronto jeweler Kent shows that the fashions from London were also received in the more distant parts of the Empire. The necklace was probably made in Great Britain and then brought to Canada for sale.
