What defines Belle Epoque and Edwardian jewellery?

Emerging between 1890 and 1915, Edwardian and Belle Epoque jewellery is characterised by light, openwork designs featuring motifs such as garlands, ribbons, bow knots, and fine wirework lattice frames.

What materials were traditionally used in Edwardian pendant construction?

Jewellers during this period predominantly worked with 9ct and 15ct gold, platinum, seed pearls, and natural gemstones including tourmalines, diamonds, and aquamarines.

How do you identify authentic Edwardian jewellery pieces?

Authentic Edwardian items often feature hand-set natural seed pearls, delicate millgrain edges, geometric wirework, and historical gold hallmarks corresponding to early 20th-century assay standards.

How can an antique pendant be styled with modern attire?

An antique pendant can be worn independently as a central statement piece against simple contemporary necklines or combined with modern gold chains to create a layered aesthetic.

How should antique seed pearl jewellery be cleaned and maintained?

Clean seed pearl jewellery by gently wiping the surface with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear, ensuring the pearls avoid contact with water, chemical cleaners, and perfumes.

Antique Edwardian Belle Epoque Pearl & Pink Tourmaline Pendant Necklace 9ct Gold - C.1910

1900 - 1920

For Sale by Artisan Antiques

Description

We are delighted to offer this stunning antique 9ct gold Edwardian pink tourmaline Belle Epoque pendant/necklace made c.1910.

In "Belle Epoque" style, quite literally translating to "the beautiful era", this pendant embraces and captures the essence of beauty. Featuring an exceptionally intricate and airy design, this particular pendant is not only aesthetically delightful but also is a testament to the fine craftsmanship of the era.

The circular pendant is wonderfully pierced and decorated with a millegrain mesh in the centre which allows for light to shine through and is an exceptionally refined yet distinct design.

Such design allows for the necklace to be worn in a wide variety of ways such as with a blouse or perhaps a turtleneck in the cooler seasons; a versatile and splendid accessory to immediately elevate the elegance of your wardrobe.

An applied gold garland sits on top of the fine background with a regal and ornate ribbon at the top, seed pearls of varying sizes and a central pink tourmaline which brings together the overall look and adds a stunning hint of contrasting colour.

The border is equally fine with a wreath of seed pearls with four more at the top where the freely moving bail lies.

Distinguished, feminine and immediately captivating, this pendant necklace would make a wonderful addition to any antique jewellery lover's collection and a conversation starter upon wearing.

The pendant is marked 9ct on the reverse side and we have tested the chain for 9ct gold.

Pink tourmaline is known as October's birthstone and pearls, June.
