Description

Highly influential to the Art Nouveau movement, Murrle-Bennet & Co was founded in 1884 and specialised in high quality Silver and Gold Jewellery: some of which was sold through the famous London Jewellers, Liberty & Co.

Mounted in 15 Carat Gold and stamped MB to the reverse it's bold yet elegant design typifies the Murrle-Bennet style together with the use of naturalistic Seed Pearls and cabochon stones. Turquoise Matrix (turquoise embedded with it's parent rock) was a particularly popular stone during this period because its irregular, natural appearance suited the non-traditional styles.

The pure appearance of these gems; their raw, unaffected and un-enhanced beauty contrasts beautifully with the obvious craftsmanship of the Gold. A perfect blend of natural and man made creation.

In perfect condition, the pendant measures approx 2.25" in length and features four Seed Pearls Surrounding a central Turquoise Matrix. A large irregular Pearl is suspended from the bottom. Circa 1910.
