Pieces of jewellery crafted in yellow gold and entirely set with seed pearls enjoyed great popularity in Great Britain c. 1900. Particularly popular were the so-called “necklets”: necklaces that featured a centerpiece of elegantly arranged flowers or other plant forms suspended from a delicate chain. The necklace shown here is one such “necklet” and glows warmly with the fresh luster of its numerous pearls. The advertisement shown here from the London firm Mappin & Webb, dating from 1900, features additional examples of these necklaces. It also notes that, due to the high demand for pearls, prices for such products had recently risen. The necklace is made of the typical British alloy of nine-karat gold (corresponding to a fineness of 375/000). We discovered it in London.
