Crafted with gorgeous details in solid sterling silver .935/.999 and mount on a four-round footed base.

SWISS 15 JEWELS FIFTEEN 2 ADJUSTMENTS TWO REF:141313". 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: Guilloché is used in fine jewelry to enhance the appearance of brooches, rings and pendants. Guilloché enamel refers to metal pieces that have been given the Guilloché treatment and then covered with a translucent layer of enamel, giving the geometric patterns underneath the enamel a colorful hue. Note: Clock has been professionally cleaned and serviced. Clock is in excellent working condition. The silver has not been polished to preserve the patina. The Case has some minor surface marks, lining has no tears but very minor discoloration and fraying threads. Both pieces are in original excellent antique condition. Collateral: It is accompanied by the original designer's presentation fitted leather case. Condition: The overall condition of this clock is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the silver. The enamel is in perfect condition. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.
