Antique Pendant-Brooch with Sapphires & Pearls in Gold, British, c. 1905

Description

A medium blue, round faceted sapphire is at the center of this pendant. It is lined with small seed pearls and thus appears like a flower. Small leaves reinforce the impression. On the outside, the composition is framed by dynamically curved strips of gold, reminiscent of ribbon bows. The entire surface of the gold is set with small seed pearls. Two small sapphires and a larger drop pearl are suspended from the design. This piece of jewellery is a classic British design from the reign of Edward VII between 1901 and 1910, which also shows the influence of continental Art Nouveau. There had been no war in Europe for a long time and industrialization had also increased the prosperity of the non-aristocratic upper and middle classes. This also increased the need for jewellery, which naturally had to match the latest wardrobe. Gold jewelry set with colored stones or pearls was worn in particular with daywear, which often consisted of a fitted costume consisting of a long skirt, fitted jacket and elegantly draped blouse. The piece of jewelry can be used as a brooch or pendant. At the time the piece was created, brooches and pendants were worn in the center of the body, on the collar of the high-necked blouse. Only the choice of high or low neckline determined whether the jewellery adorned its first owner as a brooch or pendant during the day. We discovered it in London and it was also once created in Great Britain. Its date is also confirmed by the use of 15-karat gold, which was only used until 1932.
