All auctions / Jewellery & Gems / Edwardian Seed Pearl and Gold Pendant, British, c. 1905
Delicate tendrils set with white pearls wind around a delicate pearl blossom. Together, they form a pendant that is held by a pendant loop that is also studded with pearls. Every detail is finely crafted - with a tangible love of craftsmanship. The piece of jewelry is a classic British design from the reign of Edward VII (1901-1910), which also shows the influence of continental Art Nouveau. In this era, in which Europe had not experienced war for a long time, industrialization brought prosperity to the non-aristocratic upper and middle classes. This also increased the desire for jewellery that matched the latest wardrobe. Gold jewelry set with colored stones or pearls was worn especially with daywear, which often consisted of a fitted costume with a long skirt, matching jacket and elegantly draped blouse. The pendant was created in Great Britain in the early years of the 20th century. Its hallmark confirms this: the 15-karat gold alloy was used there exclusively until 1932. We have added a matching, newly made gold chain to the pendant.
