In the last years of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th century, pearls were a particular fashion in Great Britain and the USA, which was closely related to them in terms of fashion. Their melting lustre was a perfect match for the delicate pastel colors and soft silk fabrics that dominated fashion in the fin de siècle. This is a necklace from this fashion. A necklace of warm, shiny yellow gold presents a showpiece richly encrusted with pearls. An intertwined band, a variation on the classic love knot, leads our gaze to the center, where a romantic heart-shaped pendant is mounted. It is a large amethyst in shimmering violet, which shines here in another wreath of pearls. We were particularly impressed by the delicacy of the necklace. All the pieces are finely crafted with an almost tender eye for detail. The hallmarks on the back and the clasp reveal that the necklace was made in Great Britain. It is in first-class condition and a particularly romantic treasure that found its way to us from London. On the fashion for richly beaded yellow gold jewelry of the period, see also David Bennet and Daniela Mascetti: Understanding Jewellery, Woodbridge 2010, p. 216, p. 230 et al.
