Pastel colors dominated fashion in the first decade of the young 20th century. Fashion houses such as the House of Worth designed dresses in soft tones, embroidered with floral ornaments and accentuated by delicate tulle panels. The lines were flowing and soft, the colors all borrowed from a decidedly delicate spectrum. During the day, people preferred to wear matching gemstones in the same color scheme: lilac amethysts, light green peridots, shimmering opals and aqua blue aquamarines. Amethysts and fine natural pearls also form the setting of this piece of jewellery. Two movable pendulums are attached to a round centerpiece. The design, which is clear in its basic features and composed of simple geometric shapes, is given a playful lightness typical of the Edwardian period by the pendulums of unequal length and the ornamentation with leaf and flower motifs made of pearls. We were able to discover the beautiful necklace in London. It was created in England at the beginning of the 20th century and has all the characteristics of a typical British piece of jewellery of the time.
