The earlier a piece of jewelelry was made, the more likely it is that it has been reworked once or several times in the course of its existence. After all, jewellery is not only art, but also an object of utility, and wants to be worn: So how often does it happen that previous owners adapted a particular piece to suit contemporary tastes! This is often the case with earrings in particular, especially as pairs are often separated over the years due to loss. In this case, it makes sense to transform the individual earring into a pendant. This was also the case with a magnificent amethyst earring from around 1870, which was turned into a pendant more recently - in the mid-20th century at the earliest. A matching, elegantly curved pendant loop was forged for this purpose, through which a matching gold chain can now be threaded. This makes the beautiful piece, made from natural amethysts and a natural pearl in velvety matt gold, wearable again. We discovered this beautiful piece as a pendant here in Berlin and added a vintage gold chain to it. The earring itself was probably created in Great Britain during the reign of Queen Victoria.
