An adorable silver basket of flowers pendant. This style is known as a “gardinetto” or “giardinetti” and is an ornament in the form of a vase of flowers or a flower basket, especially suited for brooches but sometimes rings and pendants. The colourful items were created from a multi coloured array of gemstones such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, but also coloured paste as in this example. Initially enjoying popularity in the early 1800s these colourful floral gemstone depictions were love tokens to be exchanged with lovers and friends. A resurgence in popularity occurred circa 1910 when this pendant was made.
\nWe 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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
