In times gone by, gemstones were not only considered beautiful, but also symbolic. In the 19th century, turquoise was associated with the forget-me-not, whose eloquent meaning it took on. In England, where this pendant brooch was created, the flower is also called Forget-Me-Not. This piece of jewelry is set with these stones and is elegantly designed in early 20th century forms. Typical of English jewellery from the reign of Edward VII, the fine gold bars, which together create an airy openwork design, are studded all over with seed pearls. Two turquoises cut into cabochons shine in intense sky blue in the middle of the delicate arrangement. The piece of jewelry is made from a 9-karat gold alloy, which was introduced in Great Britain in 1854 and only used until 1932. A characteristic piece of the English Belle Époque in beautiful condition that is just as enchanting today as it was almost 120 years ago!
