Description

Pieces of jewellery made of yellow gold and studded all over with seed pearls were particularly popular in Great Britain at the turn of the century. This is also evidenced by the illustrated advertisement from the London firm Mappin & Webb from 1900 (see last illustration), which states that prices for such products had risen due to the high demand for pearls. Among the pieces of jewellery in demand were the so-called "necklets" made of gold. A special feature of such necklaces was often an eyelet hidden behind the centerpiece, on which a pendant could be hooked. As gold pendants with seed pearls could also be ordered separately in the same jewelry catalogs, the necklaces were easy to individualize. Brooches also often had a hook on the back for such purposes. Depending on the occasion and mood, the wearer of the necklace could therefore vary it and sometimes wear it more simply, sometimes more magnificently. This piece of jewellery could not illustrate this form of jewelry more beautifully. It has been excellently preserved in its perfectly fitting case. The front is formed by sculpted blossoms, while individually set natural pearls form the setting of the actual necklace. The case bears the gold-printed company logo of the London-based Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company Ltd. with the crown of King Edward VII on the inside lid, so we know that the jewellery was created between 1901 and 1910. Stylistically, the necklace is entirely in keeping with the taste of the Edwardian Era: its light, lively shapes and choice of materials are as typical of the period as they can be. The case even has space for a pendant - so the piece of jewellery can be added to at any time.
