Pastel colors dominated fashion in the first decade of the young 20th century. Fashion houses such as the House of Worth designed dresses in soft tones, embroidered with floral ornaments and accentuated by delicate tulle panels. The lines were flowing and soft, the colors all borrowed from a decidedly delicate spectrum. During the day, people preferred to wear matching gemstones in the same color scheme: lilac amethysts, light green peridots, shimmering opals and water-blue aquamarines. In this pendant, a spring green peridot has become the focal point of the design. The gemstone is freely suspended in the round pendant, whose design and linear shape are entirely in keeping with the fashion around 1910. In typical British style, the peridot is accompanied by delicate pearls that surround it on a narrow gold hoop. The design, inspired by the reduced lines of graphic Art Nouveau, is both airy and modern. The pendant is made of 15-karat gold, an alloy that was only used in Great Britain until 1932. In addition to its fine workmanship and the design typical of the style, this detail also confirms the age of the piece of jewelry. We have added a delicate gold chain to the pendant.
