Edwardian Aquamarine and Seed Pearl Pendant, British, c. 1910

Description

In the early 20th century, there was still a very strict etiquette when it came to choosing jewelry to go with a particular wardrobe; a high society lady would change several times a day. Different pieces of jewelry were considered appropriate for each occasion and each dress. Gold jewelry set with seed pearls and colored stones was worn for more informal occasions during the day. The stones were chosen to match the respective toilette, and as pastel colors were the fashion choice in the early 20th century, we can also find these delicate shades in jewellery. Four pastel aquamarines are the protagonists of this pendant from England in the Edwardian Era (1901-10). The gemstones in a delicate shade of blue nestle in a fine composition of ornamental curves and leaves set with seed pearls. Although these gold wires, known as "knife wires", look wafer-thin when viewed from above, they gain their stability in depth. This gives the piece of jewelry its typically delicate, fragrant character. By the way, did you know that the combination of aquamarine and pearls is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also particularly harmonious in terms of content? This is because the blue, clear gemstone takes its name from the Latin term for seawater, aqua marina. An exemplary British piece of jewelry from the late Belle Époque, which we found in the south of England and to which we have added a matching gold chain.
