But I think that this one, without any purple enamel or hint to a true garden counterpart beyond the silhouette, and number of petals – is more in the habit of expressing eternity. A singular creamy pearl stars at the center of the jewel, reminding us that without water, and a temperate sea breeze; no garden can truly grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e English, c. 1860s — height of floriography\/sentimental jewelry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15ct gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43 foiled rose cut diamonds; pearl centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentral Element:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\" × 1.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Hanging Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.14g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Y-shaped pendant fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e None; assayed to confirm gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent historical condition.
