Edwardian Silver, Marcasite & Coloured Paste Giardinetti Pendant

949S
40 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A sweet basket of flowers containing different coloured paste flowers suspended from silver chains. It is a “giardinetti”, meaning “little gardens” pendant. From the late 17th century onwards this Italian word was applied to describe articles of jewellery, mainly rings, brooches, and pendants with an intricate floral openwork motif, consisting of colourful gems set in designs resembling flowers and often arranged in vases or baskets. This silver pendant is a a pretty example and was made circa 1910.
We have a few of these Giardinetti brooches and pendants in stock as they came from a private collection. Each one is slightly different so take your pick!
