Lightness was the ideal of the Belle Époque, the period before the outbreak of the First World War. It was no longer just the aristocracy that celebrated glittering parties. The bourgeoisie, who had gained wealth and prestige through industrialization, also wanted to enjoy the sunny side of life. Rushing balls, foaming champagne goblets and elegant salons characterize the image of that time. During the day - for lunch, afternoon tea or a visit to the milliner - the lady of the early 20th century wore gold jewellery in fine, delicate shapes, set with pearls or aquamarines, amethysts or peridots, which were still classed as semi-precious stones at the time. This is just such a piece. Elegant curves, reminiscent of delicate tendrils, have been composed into an abstract ornament. Small leaves studded with seed pearls enliven the ornament and frame two pale blue aquamarines that sparkle brilliantly. We discovered this fine piece of jewellery in London and added a delicate gold chain to it. It was created in Great Britain at the beginning of the 20th century.
