Jewellery with pearls and coloured stones in yellow gold was very fashionable at the turn of the last century, especially in Great Britain. The shapes were the same as those of diamond-set evening jewellery in platinum, but in gold and set with pearls they were also suitable for daytime wear. A lady of Edwardian England may have worn this necklace to a garden party - the famous "Lawn Party" - with a "Lawn Dress" made of airy white fabric with finely worked lace borders. Diamonds would not have been appropriate on this occasion, but of course they still wanted to show their style and fashion sense. Elaborately crafted gold jewellery like this, each pearl set by hand and set with two precious sapphires, dark blue like the sea in summer: it would have been hard to find more suitable jewellery. The pendant is made of 15-carat gold, an alloy that was only used in Great Britain and only until 1932. The corresponding hallmark therefore helps to date the piece of jewellery - in addition to the fine workmanship and the design of the piece, which is typical of the style. The necklace is in very good condition and still shines as freshly today as it probably did back then on the sunlit lawn of an English estate.
