This pendant is extremely pretty with fabulous Edwardian workmanship

Edwardian jewellery is famous for the widespread use of filigree; delicate metalwork that gives jewellery a light and ethereal feel. Art Nouveau was a strong influence too; natural, curving designs that focused on nature and craftsmanship.

From the depths of the sea, comes the beautiful coral which is produced by tiny life forms.Same as pearls, coral is a water element of fiery colours in shades of ranging from petal pink known as angel skin coral to salmon and velvety red.

Paste is a heavy, very transparent flint glass that stimulates the fire and brilliance of gemstones because it has relatively high indices of refraction and strong dispersion, the Romans in particular were very skilful in the production of coloured glass pastes.

This pendant looks lovely when worn on a chain.
