Rose gold is a blend of pure gold, copper, and silver that creates a warm and distinctive colour. Rose gold was made popular by Carl Faberge during the 19th century and was prized by individuals, including Russian nobility.
The pendant features two peridot gemstones. Peridot is known for its remarkable blend of bright green and golden hues.
Throughout history, it has been linked with luck and believed to possess the power to ward off evil spirits. This belief was particularly amplified when peridot was set in gold.
Peridot is the birthstone for August and is associated with 16th anniversaries. The inclusion of delicate seed pearls adds to the pendant's elegance. Seed pearls, typically measuring less than 2mm in diameter, were highly favoured in fine jewellery during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Pearls symbolise purity, chastity, and delicacy, and they are the birthstone for June and 30th anniversaries. This Edwardian pendant is not only a beautiful accessory but also a tangible piece of history. Its combination of rose gold, peridot gemstones, and seed pearls captures the essence of a stylish bygone era, making it a wearable work of art with cultural and historical significance.
