"There is a demand for the peridot, the dark, rich, olive green colour of which affiliates well with diamonds," the fashion columnist of the American Jewelers' Circular advised her readers in the spring of 1897. Apparently, large quantities of peridots were reaching the European market again at that time, probably from the sites in Burma. Previously, according to contemporary literature, old pieces of jewellery had to be cut up in order to obtain particularly beautiful, large peridots. Due to the new availability of the stone, the brilliant, intense green peridot briefly became an extremely sought-after gem, especially in Great Britain. This piece of jewellery is a child of this short-lived yet dazzling fashion. Seven spring green peridots are at the center of the design. The design forms a flower wreath in which five small, faceted peridots alternate with matt gold flowers. A further peridot is pendant-set in the wreath and below it. We discovered the pendant in Düsseldorf and added a matching gold chain. According to its hallmark, it was created in England.
