1900s French Naturalism Herbarium Gold Pendant - Brown Small Flowers

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 small brown flower specimen is the product of this human being eager to record, generalize, and understand the way 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 pendant is made of 18k Rose Gold for the outer frame and pendant head, sandwiching two pieces of convex glass, inside is a dark brown flower that has been deepened for more than 100 years. The pollen of the florets and the fluff of the plants were partly scattered. Because the pendant was welded to death, it could not be opened and cleaned. Let the specimens from a hundred years ago maintain their original appearance! Our photos were shot with strong light and the object was magnified many times, which made the pollen fog very obvious, but it was actually not so obvious when wearing it (see the try-on picture) Origin: France Year: 1900s Material: glass, 18k gold, herbarium Size: 1.9 cm in diameter, 1 cm pendant head Condition: Good, some scratches, traces of oxide.
