This pendant from the period shortly after the turn of the century before last is cheerful and graceful. The delicate lines of the open-worked piece of jewellery made of fine gold bars unfold delicate leafy curves that appear light and almost dance-like. Two violet amethysts and delicate natural pearls enrich the piece of jewellery with their gentle play of colours. Thanks to a pin attached to the back, the piece can be worn not only as a pendant but also as a brooch. The pendant loop can be removed for this purpose. Stylistically, the piece of jewellery can be dated to around 1905, the reign of King Edward VII. The jewellery fashions of these years favored light, openwork forms with garlands, bows and fine lines that harmonized with the light, often lace-trimmed daywear of society at the time. With its gold and amethyst materials, this piece is also one of the typical forms of jewelry that were mainly worn during the day around 1905. While diamonds often dominated for the evening, colored gemstones in combination with gold and pearls were considered particularly suitable for the more elegant daytime wardrobe. The pendant enchants at first glance and takes us back to the heyday of the British Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. A finely crafted piece of jewellery with delicate colours that we discovered in London.
