Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
In past times, gemstones were considered to be not only beautiful, but also symbolic. In this regard, the turquoise in the 19th century was associated with the forget-me-not and its literal meaning. The present piece of jewelry is set with these stones and is elegantly curved in the floral forms of Art Nouveau. Quite typical of English jewellery of those years are the fine gold bars, which together create an airy openwork design, and are set all over with seed pearls. Three turquoises cut into cabochons shine in an intense sky blue amid the delicate arrangement. The piece is made of 15-karat gold alloy, which was in use in Great Britain only until 1932. A characteristic piece of English Art Nouveau in beautiful condition, it is as charming today as it was more than 120 years ago!
