Antique Gold Pendant-Brooch with Peridot & Pearls, Great Britain c. 1900

One of the most beautiful inventions of our ancestors is the pendant brooch: a piece of jewelry that can be worn in two ways. This not only offers variety, but also makes the investment in a precious piece of jewelry even more worthwhile, as it can be used twice as often. Here, this idea has been implemented in a particularly luxurious way - the pin can be completely unscrewed when the piece is to be worn as a pendant, while the pendant loop can be removed as soon as it is used as a brooch. This piece of jewelry was created in Great Britain around the turn of the century. The almost heart-shaped design is decorated with a delicate lattice pattern in gold, with small pearls set at the cross points. This motif originates from the Rococo style, which is also reflected in the shape of the design's frame. Further pearls line the frame and form a shamrock motif below, on which a small, grass-green stone hangs: a peridot, which was often used in British pieces from this period. We discovered this elegant and versatile piece of jewelry in London, and it is in very good condition.
