Edwardian Pendants:



Edwardian pendants, epitomise elegance and refinement and were created during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910. This period, often referred to as the "Belle Époque," was characterised by a flourishing of arts and culture, influencing jewellery design with its emphasis on sophistication and delicate beauty.

The use of platinum and gold became prominent, allowing for intricate designs due to their strength and malleability. These metals complemented the light and airy aesthetics of the era. Edwardian pendants often featured diamonds, pearls, and coloured gemstones, such as sapphires and aquamarines. These stones were chosen for their brilliance and ability to catch the light, enhancing the pendant's allure.

Common motifs included bows, garlands, and floral patterns, reflecting the romantic and naturalistic themes popular at the time. The designs were often inspired by the neoclassical and rococo styles, with an emphasis on symmetry and elegance. The filigree technique, involving delicate metalwork, was a hallmark of Edwardian jewellery. This allowed for intricate patterns and a lace-like appearance, adding to the pendant's overall delicacy and charm.

The Edwardian era was marked by a sense of optimism and luxury, which was reflected in its jewellery. Pendants were not only fashion statements but also symbols of status and wealth. They were often worn at lavish parties and social gatherings, where their sparkling beauty could be fully appreciated.

Today, Edwardian pendants are cherished for their timeless beauty and exquisite craftsmanship. They remain popular among collectors and those who appreciate antique jewellery, representing a link to a bygone era of grace and sophistication. Their enduring appeal lies in their ability to transcend time, offering a glimpse into the elegance of the early 20th century.
