Description

Pieces of jewelry made of yellow gold and studded with seed pearls were particularly popular in Great Britain around 1900. Brooches in a wide variety of shapes were particularly popular. This is also demonstrated by the advertisement for the London Goldsmith & Silversmith Company from 1901 (see last illustration), which shows various pieces, one of which is similar to our brooch. Our piece also shows a blossoming branch with leaves and flowers. The golden brooch is completely set with genuine natural pearls, which delight with a slightly silvery lustre. These are oriental pearls from the Indian Ocean, which were created without human intervention. The ancient Greeks and Romans were already very fond of pearls as pieces of jewelry: the Greek term "margarita" was also used to refer to the beloved, a term that has been preserved to this day in the name Margarete. So pearl jewelry is just as much a part of a beloved lady's jewelry box today as it was in the Victorian era!
