Description

This pendant, dating from shortly after the turn of the 19th century, exudes a cheerful and graceful charm. Crafted with openwork from delicate gold bars, the piece of jewellery features filigree lines that form delicate, sweeping leaf shapes, giving it a light and almost dance-like quality. Two multicolored, iridescent opals and delicate natural pearls enhance the piece of jewellery with their gentle play of colours. Thanks to a pin attached to the back, the piece of jewellery can be worn not only as a pendant but also as a brooch. To do so, the pendant bail can be removed. Stylistically, the piece can be dated to around 1905, during the reign of King Edward VII. Jewellery fashions of that era favored light, openwork designs featuring garlands, bows, and delicate lines that harmonized with the light-colored, often lace-trimmed daytime attire of high society at the time. Made of gold and opal, this piece is also representative of the typical jewelry styles worn primarily during the day around 1905. While diamonds often dominated evening wear, colored gemstones combined with gold and pearls were considered particularly suitable for the more elegant daytime wardrobe. Thus, the pendant captivates at first glance and transports us 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.
