The years around 1900 in Europe were a time of tradition and continuity as well as a time of change. Politics and the economy hardly changed during these years: the monarchies were stable and the economy developed splendidly. Taste, on the other hand, fashion and jewellery underwent a significant change. The heavy and voluminous forms of historicism that characterized the 19th century gave way to more delicate, independent designs. These were characterized by light curves as well as light and pastel colors. This change in style was particularly visible in Great Britain and was closely associated with the transition from the reign of the former Queen Victoria to the younger King Edward. This pendant from the years shortly after 1900 corresponds to the English Art Nouveau style of the time with its airy, openwork form and lively floral motifs. The pendant is crafted from 9-karat red gold and features two facet-cut red-violet simili-stones. These are framed by elegant spiral and floral ornaments. Fine seed pearls accentuate the flowers and leaves and lend the piece of jewelry a cheerful touch. It is typical of cheaper pieces of jewelry from those years that they appear just as luxurious at first glance as their more expensive counterparts with real gemstones. Only on closer inspection does the use of glass and low-carat gold reveal that they were made for a clientele with somewhat limited means. The pendant can be worn around the neck with a delicate gold anchor chain. This piece of jewelry found its way to us from London.
