Description
This exquisite antique brooch/pendant, crafted circa 1900, exemplifies the refined elegance of Edwardian-era jewellery.
Fashioned in rich 15ct yellow gold, the piece showcases exceptional craftsmanship with a flowing openwork design of ornate foliate scrolls, delicately adorned with a series of seed pearls that lend a soft, opalescent lustre to the overall composition.
At the centre, a vibrant oval-cut peridot commands attention with its fresh, green hue—a striking focal point that embodies the naturalistic themes of the period. Suspended below is a single teardrop-shaped peridot drop, bezel-set and framed in gold, adding movement and grace to the piece.
The brooch is versatile in function, fitted with both a traditional safety pin fastening and a discreetly placed hinged bale, allowing it to be worn either as a brooch or as a pendant on a fine chain.
This dual-purpose design, typical of turn-of-the-century jewellery, enhances its practicality while maintaining its timeless allure.
Perfect for collectors or lovers of period jewellery, this piece is not only a wearable treasure but a testament to the delicate artistry of Edwardian goldsmiths.
