1900s French Naturalism Herbarium Gold Pendant - Clover

This batch of pendants (three in total, all on the shelves) came from a closed jewelry store in Paris. The entire batch of pendants has not been worn and has been stored for a hundred years. The naturalism mentioned in the title is an aspect of artistic creation (scientific and philosophical aspects will not be discussed for the time being). This doctrine rejects the overly exaggerated and sentimental romanticism in the early stage, advocates simply depicting nature, and focuses on recording the reality seen by the eyes. The supernatural universe, and attempts to understand the universe by classification and logic. Natural materialism first appeared in France in the second half of the 19th century and influenced the entire European continent. This pendant with a clover specimen is the product of this human being's eagerness to record, generalize, and understand how the universe works. The rarity of this batch of pendants is that usually antique pendants contain photos and hair. First of all, because war men often leave home to go to the battlefield, women can only keep a strand of hair of the person they miss; and because medicine a hundred years ago was not as developed as it is today, and the average life expectancy of human beings is not high, it is a good idea to keep the hair of the deceased in jewelry A common way of remembering loved ones was that, in addition to specialized manufacturers of mourning jewellery, there were also, equally important, specialized hair workers who specialized in making all kinds of jewelry out of hair. The theme of this batch of pendants is not mainstream, and even has a scientific flavor: flower specimens are the protagonists, and it is rare to preserve plant specimens from 120 years ago. The four-leaf clover in the dark green glass is protected from the sun because of the protection of the colored glass, and the four-leaf clover still has a dark green color. The metal part is made of 18k gold for the frame and pendant. Every link is welded firmly and cannot be opened. You can see the care and quality of the production. There are traces of hand-made at the weld of the pendant.
