When a British lady visited a jewellery store in the early years of the 20th century, she was spoilt for choice. Should it be a piece in the neoclassical shapes of the Garland style that radiated aristocratic elegance? Something stylistically minimalist, with gold work that was restrained and focused solely on the luxurious stones? Or rather something completely modern, artistic, in the forms of British Art Nouveau? The first owner of this necklace chose the latter when she opted for the elegant yet artistic composition of grass-green peridots and small baroque seed pearls. Fine gold chains link three vegetal ornaments to form a light, delicate garland. Further seed pearls swing from wafer-thin chains, giving the piece a casual and animated look. We were able to acquire the antique necklace in Hamburg, but it was created in Britain according to its hallmarks. Its design language also corresponds to the modern designs that emerged in Britain at the beginning of the century in the field of tension between continental Art Nouveau and British Arts & Crafts.
