Description

Many English pieces of jewellery from around the turn of the century are characterized by their sense of form and material. While some works from this era stand out due to their rich gemstone setting and ornamental abundance, others prefer an emphatically two-dimensional design and a calm, harmonious color scheme - an expression of a new, modern taste. This necklace belongs to this second group. Five turquoises, each with a lively grain, alternate with so-called cage links, oval grids of bent gold wires, creating a balanced rhythm of color and structure. The restrained design dispenses with excessive ornamentation and draws the eye to the interplay of form, surface and material. With its clear and organic design, the necklace is in the tradition of the British Arts & Crafts movement, which has its roots in the 19th century. This movement combined aesthetic and artisanal ideals and sought a new honesty in the use of materials and design. This aspiration was particularly evident in jewellery through an emphasis on flatness, the reduction of decoration and the use of natural colored stones - characteristics that are also evident here. We discovered the necklace in London. The maker is unknown, but the design and hallmark clearly indicate that it originated in Great Britain. We date the well-preserved piece to around 1905.
