Property of a Lady

Peridot and Seed Pearl Necklace

Circa 1890

橄欖石 配 珍珠 項鏈, 約1890年


Of floral motif, set with cushion- and pear-shaped peridots, embellished with seed pearls, necklace length approximately 430mm, fitted case.

During the late 19th century, delicate gold necklets were widely worn. Peridots became popular in the 1890s and a similar type of British necklace is also shown in the book Understanding Jewellery by David Bennett & Daniela Mascetti (page 216).

十九世紀末,精美的黃金項圈在社會上廣為流行;其中,鑲橄欖石的款式在1890年代漸受歡迎。另一條相類的英國製項鏈錄於 David Bennett 及 Daniela Mascetti 撰寫的《珠寶詳解》(頁216)。

Please note that the pearls have not been tested for natural origin.
