Pendant with emerald cabochon

1850 - 1900

This rich pendant contains several parts which can move because of its hinged suspension system. The chain can be removed and an extension system screwed onto the back so that the jewel can also be worn as a brooch. The green colour of the emerald refers to the rebirth of nature in the spring and to the cyclical nature of life.
