Sweet 9ct White Gold pendant, crafted in Sydney from an English concept hand-drawn in a jewellery design manual of the late Victorian period, late 1890s, one of many such seriously pretty jewellery patterns of the era created to inspire and guide the artesans working by hand at their benches to satisfy a growing middle-class appetite for attractive personal ornaments.
Literally hundreds of designs such as the above Sweet 9ct White Gold example were put to paper at the time, some achieving considerable commercial success, but the First World War and the new, bolder forms of Art Nouveau and Art Deco changed tastes, and these detailed, pretty late Victorian designs fell out of favour.
In the post-WWII era, however, western travellers were introduced to the fine hand-craftsmanship of eastern lands such as Thailand and Indonesia, the old English jewellery pattern books were dug out, and these old designs were given a new like as Silver pendants and earrings that sold in multiples all over the western world.
