Floral decorations were part of the ball gown for most of the 19th century. Real flowers, kept fresh by bouquet holders - the so-called posies -, silk flowers sewn onto the dress or necklaces, but of course also precious jewellery in floral form, shone and shimmered in the ballrooms and salons illuminated by gaslight. The pendant presented here is also designed in the form of a fully blossomed flower surrounded by smaller leaves and blossoms. Historic rose-cut and cushion-shaped old-cut diamonds are arranged on different levels and sparkle warmly in a bed of gold. Crown settings with delicate prongs hold the center stone of the flower. However, even the prongs are only an illusion to a certain extent, as these diamonds are also set closed from behind to emphasize the special, shimmering brilliance of their rose cut. This piece probably began its history as a brooch, perhaps even as part of an even larger bouquet. In more recent times, it was transformed into a pendant by adding a bail. We discovered it as is in London and added a matching gold chain.
