Description

This bangle from the end of the 19th century is made of rose gold and features three faceted amethysts and three small seed pearls in delicate prong settings as a showpiece. Set in an almond-shaped fanned-out centerpiece, the three amethysts are arranged to form a cloverleaf. The hoop exudes the lively, playful design language of the Belle Époque - the period between the end of the Franco-Prussian War and the First World War. The shamrock was a frequently used motif in the jewellery of the Belle Époque. Today we mostly know it in its four-leaf version as a symbol of good luck, but back then the three-leafed plant could also convey a romantic message - which is why we find it so often on jewelry of the time. Probably the best-known work on the language of flowers, Anna Burke's Illustrated Language of Flowers from 1856, lists the four-leaf clover with the meaning "Be mine". The hallmark on the clasp of the hoop shows that the piece of jewelry was made in Bergen, Austria, in the workshop of a goldsmith with the monogram "CS". The hoop is excellently crafted and - not only considering its age - in very good condition. The piece came to us here in Berlin.
