Georgian jewelry is recognizable by a few stand-out features. It was painstakingly hand-made by skilled artisans, so gemstones and metalwork from this era are a little ‘rough around the edges compared with the neater craftsmanship of more recent eras. Georgian period jewelers often set gemstones in closed-back settings. These included foil backings under the gems to enhance their scintillation by candlelight, like this treasure, for instance!
For the collector with a penchant for Georgian jewels of prodigious quality, this aquamarine of an estimated 17.23cts is outstanding. In a foiled, clean closed-back setting with foiled flat cut garnets that alternate with plump pearls. This pendant exemplifies the excellence of late 18th-century French craftspersonship.
