Description

Curved tendrils nestle together to form a stylized wreath. Leaves and flowers shimmer with the soft lustre of fine pearls. These are set in gold, which has been refined with a fine gold plating - the so-called "bloom finish" - and now has a particularly rich and velvety glow. The pendant is a typical British design from around 1910, which shows the influence of continental Art Nouveau. There had been no war in Europe for a long time and industrialization had also increased the prosperity of the non-aristocratic upper and middle classes. This also increased the need for jewellery, which naturally had to match the latest wardrobe. Gold jewellery set with coloured stones or pearls was worn in particular with daywear, which often consisted of a fitted costume consisting of a long skirt, fitted jacket and elegantly draped blouse. We discovered this piece of jewellery in London and added a matching gold chain.
