Enchanting Brooch With Natural Pearls in Gold, Great Britain c. 1900

"It is well known that pearls are the magic word that makes the heart of every lady of the world beat faster, and pearls are increasingly pushing red-hot rubies, sparkling emeralds and even glittering diamonds into the background. [...]" (Deutsche Goldschmiede-Zeitung, No. 45, 1910, p. 399). What the authors of the German Goldschmiede-Zeitung correctly recognized could also be applied to England, where countless pieces of jewellery were created at the turn of the 20th century that were entirely set with pearls. Brooches, earrings, necklaces and rings were all set with pearls and were therefore not only suitable for wearing during the day, but could also be perfectly combined. This brooch with a floral motif from late Victorian England is a typical piece of jewellery from this period. A flower whose petals are formed from shimmering pearls is at the center of the design. Two leaves extend from it to the sides in typical Art Nouveau shapes. With its bright colours and the lightness of its design, the brooch perfectly complemented the fashion of the turn of the century before last. Since its creation around 1900, it has been very well preserved.
