Description

The motifs and materials of antique jewelry were rarely chosen at random; rather, each had its own story, its own meaning. The three-leaf clover, which we find in so many pieces of jewelry from the turn of the century, symbolized affection. More precisely, it was associated with two romantic requests: "Think of me" or "Be mine". In this brooch, a shamrock is formed from delicately curved gold rods set with spring green peridots. Two smaller leaves with shimmering natural pearls accompany the gemstones and harmoniously round off the delicate play of colors with their warm white. It is no coincidence that the green gemstone was chosen here, as it is said to ward off bad influences. The peridot was particularly popular in the early years of the 20th century and was the favorite stone of the English King Edward VII. Countless pieces of jewelry were created during his reign, showing peridots mainly in combination with pearls, as we see in this piece: A typical example of English jewellery of the years shortly after 1900.
