In the early 20th century, there was still a clear etiquette when it came to the choice of jewellery: gold was preferred for daytime, set with seed pearls and delicate colored stones to match the pastel-colored toilets of the time. This necklace from England embodies this lightness in a masterful way. A bright green peridot forms the centerpiece of the central pendant. A wreath of shimmering pearls makes it look like a flower. Three pendulums are suspended below it, each with a glistening drop of peridot at the end. The composition of ornamental curves and leaves is studded with numerous seed beads. The filigree "knife wires" - wafer-thin yet sturdy gold wires - lend the piece its typical, fragrant delicacy. Such jewellery was popular in Great Britain at the turn of the century: the shapes corresponded to those of diamond-studded evening jewelry made of platinum, but in gold and with pearls it was also wearable during the day. For example, a lady may have worn this necklace to a garden party, the famous "Lawn Party", to match her white dress made of fine lace. Each pearl set by hand, each stone glowing in fresh green like a spring day, the necklace still shines today as if it were catching the light of a sunny afternoon in the garden.
