Pastel colours dominated fashion in the first decade of the young 20th century. Fashion houses such as House of Worth designed dresses in pastel colours, embroidered with floral ornaments and accented with delicate tulle panels. The lines were flowing and soft, the colours all borrowed from a decidedly delicate spectrum. The daytime jewellery also reflected this fashion. While festive white jewellery was worn in the evening, materials in pastel colors were used during the day: lilac-coloured amethysts, light green peridots, iridescent opals and water-blue aquamarines set in gold. This necklace is an example of elegant daytime jewellery from the period. It was created in the early years of the 20th century, in Edwardian Britain. Two purple amethysts form the colorful focal point of the creation. Fine curves and two leaf ornaments form an airy composition. Small pearls are set on them and add a velvety shimmer. This creates a magnificent yet light impression that is in keeping with the fashion of the time. The necklace, which came to us from London, is in very good condition.
