Edwardian 9ct Gold Aquamarine & Split Pearl Pendant/Brooch c.1905
A refined Edwardian pendant and brooch combination in 9ct yellow gold, showcasing the flowing curves and symmetrical floral forms of the early 20th-century Art Nouveau-inspired aesthetic. This beautifully crafted piece features a pale greenish-blue oval-cut aquamarine at its centre, complemented by an articulated aquamarine drop and framed by delicate split pearls.
The scrolled openwork frame is delicately embellished with seed pearls in graduated sizes, accentuating the lightness and elegance typical of Edwardian design.
