The British Empire was at the zenith of its power in the early years of the 20th century. Almost a quarter of the world's population lived in the global colonial empire. As a result, a never-ending stream of exotic goods and valuables poured from the colonies into the major ports of the English motherland. Gemstones and pearls were imported in unprecedented quantities and the jewelry production of those years was richer than ever before or since. This bracelet dates from this period, more precisely from the end of the reign of King Edward VII. It is made of gold and features three oval ornamental links in the middle. In the middle of each is a sky-blue turquoise in front of a delicate platinum lattice. The elements almost look like tennis rackets! The English were increasingly enthusiastic about the ball sport and the famous Wimbeldon tournament received its first royal visit in 1907 with the Prince of Wales (later George V). Two smaller connecting elements are set between the large decorative links, each featuring a beautiful oriental pearl with a melting lustre. In its design language, the bracelet combines continental Art Nouveau influences with sporty motifs, which can already be found in so-called Novelty Jewellery. This piece of jewelry, which we discovered for you in London, is in very good condition.
