About the Item

Edwardian belle epoque necklace-pendant-brooch by Bailey Biddle & Banks. Magnificent statement piece from the Belle Epoque period, created by the iconic American jeweler and luxury retailers Bailey Biddle & Banks during the Edwardian era (1901-1910), back in the 1905. This fabulous convertible festoon necklace & brooch was carefully crafted in the shape of a swagged festoon, a classically Edwardian motif. Carefully made with movable and articulated parts in solid platinum and suited with detachable sections, such the chain and the bar pin to wear either as a necklace or as a brooch. The delicate platinum work is emblematic of the Edwardian with an exquisite workmanship. All elements are articulated with microscopic joints, creating a beautiful drapery movement. The design is made up of multiple leaf motifs, bows, tassels, floral clusters and fringes fully embellished with white colorless natural diamonds. The diamonds have brilliant sparkle, making this brooch an eye-catching piece. Mounted, with 194 European rose cut, with a combined weight of 3.88 carats, F color, VS/SI clarity. The settings are impeccable finished with millegrain patterns. Weight: 16.95 Grams (10.86 Dwt). Measurements: 70 mm by 50 mm (2.75 x 1.97 Inches). The removable chain have a length of 15 inches (38 Cm). Hallmarks: stamped with the maker's mark, the serial numbers, the mark for the platinum assay and signed, "37352 B.B.&B. PLAT". Bailey Biddle & Banks, was originally known as Bailey & Kitchen. Was founded at 136 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, on September 20, 1832, by Joseph Trowbridge Bailey and Andrew B. Kitchen. This makes Bailey Banks & Biddle the Oldest Nationwide Jeweler in America and quickly became a recognized leader in the jewelry fashion. By the late 19th century, the firm’s reputation was solidified as one of the country’s leading jewelers and go-to source for all manner of fine things. The partnership was dissolved in November 1846. It was reformed with new partners as Bailey & Co. in 1841, and on March 1, 1878, again re-established as Bailey Banks & Biddle. From about 1852–1862, the company made its own silver; they were principally supplied by Taylor and Lawrie before 1852, and from about 1862–1870, by George B. Sharp.After 1870, they resold silver from a variety of manufacturers. Edwardian era, like the Georgian and Victorian eras before it, derives its name from the reign of the English King, Edward VII (1901-1910). Edwardian jewelry is known for representing femininity while incorporating a lot of the color white. Think diamonds, pearls and white metals like platinum and white gold. Diamonds often had an Old Mine or European cut and sapphires were a popular choice for a pop of color. They tended to be made from platinum and diamonds – the more, the merrier – and used fashionable, intricate techniques such as filigree and millegrain. Edwardian rings are works of art and best worn alone or alongside a simple wedding band. Millegraining, a new decorative technique made possible by the use of platinum, is featured often on Edwardian jewelry. Its border of delicate balls and ridges surrounding a gemstone or on the knife sharp edges of a design served to give jewelry a softer, lighter look. Note: Millegrain is a jewelry technique which refers to the textural effect of a close-set line of metal beads that are typically used as a border on the edges or bezels of jewelry. Collateral: It is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box. Very delicate and feminine, the pendant is a great addition to your jewelry collection. Condition: The overall condition of this piece is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the platinum. All diamonds, are secured in the settings and all parts are working properly. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: N101422TCEA/.5161
