Magnificent pendant brooch with amethyst & pearls in gold, Great Britain

Every country and every era has its own fashions, which sometimes differ more, sometimes less from those of other countries and eras. In Great Britain, perhaps favored by its insularity, we find several quite unique fashions in the 19th century that we cannot observe in mainland Europe. One of these passions was the love of jewellery made of warmly glowing yellow gold, set with countless small pearls and colored stones - a very beautiful example of this can be seen here. An openwork gold flower is set with pearls and a purple amethyst. A further drop of amethyst is suspended from the design. With its airy, openwork shape and colorfulness, this piece of jewelry corresponds exactly to the taste of the time. The piece of jewelry can be worn as a brooch and - thanks to an attachable loop - also as a pendant. Such a dual function was quite common in the years around 1900, as it promised that the investment in a special piece would pay off well thanks to its versatility. We found this wonderfully preserved piece of jewelry in London and are delighted to present it to you here.
