Refined Craftsmanship by Murrle, Bennett & Co

Antique Edwardian Peridot Pendant — a singular treasure offered from 116 years ago, where refined craftsmanship meets enduring style. This one‑of‑a‑kind pendant, by Murrle, Bennett & Co., circa 1910, is made in warm 9ct yellow gold and centres on a lively round peridot surrounded by 24 small half natural pearls.

The Elegance of Edwardian Openwork

The design epitomises Edwardian elegance: openwork geometry softened by milgrain detail and pearls, a harmonious balance of lightness and meticulous finish. Such measured restraint and graceful proportion have quietly informed many contemporary collections; the pendant’s target motif and delicate scale feel entirely at home beside modern minimalism and layered, fashion‑forward styling alike.

A One-of-a-Kind Edwardian Treasure

As a unique objet d’art, it transcends fleeting trends — no other wearer will possess the same combination of maker, age and composition. Wear it solo on a fine chain for a discreet statement, layer with longer lengths for a curated, modern edit, or let it crown a simple collar for evening refinement. For the collector or the discerning dresser, this pendant offers a rare intersection of historical significance and everyday versatility.
