Filigree pendants made of gold were very fashionable in England in the first decade of the 20th century. They were either cool white made of platinum and diamonds, or made of yellow gold and set with small natural pearls and gemstones in all pastel shades. They were always worn on delicate chains. As these pieces of jewellery were often gifts, the choice of gemstones was often based on a certain meaning. In this pendant in the shape of a delicate flower, we find gemstones that were selected according to their meaning. It is set with light blue turquoise and small white pearls. Turquoise, imported at great expense from Persia, was a real fashionable stone in the 19th century. People of the time loved it 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. In addition to turquoise, the pearl is also a symbol of love and stands for the support of the goddess of love. Venus herself, like the pearl - as we know from Botticelli's famous painting - was born from a shell. We discovered the piece of jewellery in London. The pendant can be worn around the neck with a renewed gold anchor chain. A perfect gift for a loved one!
