Description

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine: There sleeps Titania sometime of the night, Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight [...]. - Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act II. This gem reminds us of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, full of glowing, nocturnal blossoms. Last but not least, like the play, it was created in Great Britain, where there had long been an enthusiasm for fairies. The heyday of fairy painting was around the middle of the 19th century: some painters, such as John Anster Fitzgerald, devoted themselves almost entirely to this genre. The last examples of fairy enthusiasm can be found towards the end of the First World War, with Arthur Rackham's illustrated picture books and the Cottingley Fairy Hoax, a series of manipulated photographs. This piece of jewellery also appears fairy-like, hardly conceived by human hands. Five small, delicately textured flowers made of gold and pearls form a round dance around a pink tourmaline. Another pink drop of tourmaline hangs below. Every detail is as delicate and light as you could wish for. This pendant was created around 1910. We discovered it in London, already on its fine chain, which is a harmonious addition from a later period.
