The reign of King Edward VII was short, but of immense splendour. Between 1901 and 1910, the British Empire was at the height of its power and economic strength. Pieces of jewellery from these years were produced in unprecedented numbers and are still distinguished today by their unmistakable elegance. England also retained its own style in jewellery. Although influenced by developments on the continent, a characteristically British taste developed. Art Nouveau brought floral lightness, but the sweeping asymmetry was rarely adopted. This 9-karat gold pendant is a typical example of this era. The designer played skillfully with geometric shapes: The pendant shows a quatrefoil, the center of which is filled by a rhombus of corded gold rods. A dazzling opal with an iridescent play of colours forms the focal point, framed by four garnets. A suspended drop of garnet lends the piece a playful touch. The result is a charming piece of jewellery with a graceful shape that is still in very good condition today.
