Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
We discovered this pendant in London. The design is an upside-down square with a drop-shaped suspension. A frame and heart-shaped ornaments are created from straight and curved bars. They hold four small pearls and two turquoises: one turquoise in the center as a showpiece and one turquoise as a pendant under the square. In earlier times, jewellery was often intended to convey a meaningful message. To this end, the gemstones used were also read symbolically. This pendant is a fine example of this. People in the 19th and early 20th century valued turquoise because of its similarity in color to the forget-me-not. This flower has always been a symbol of tender remembrance and a brief farewell in sincere love. And in addition to the turquoise in the color of the meaningful flower, the pearl is also a symbol of love. It stands for the support of Venus, the goddess of love, whose symbol it was. For Venus herself - just like the pearl, as we know from Botticelli's famous painting - was born from a shell. We have added the delicate anchor chain to the antique pendant. A perfect gift for a loved one.
