There are jewels from the turn of the century that feel less like adornment and more like captured movement or an idea rendered in gold. This wonderful pendant from the hand of Archibald Knox, is one of them. Crafted for the esteemed Liberty & Co., its lines curve like a single breath drawn in and released again, forming a frame that seems to hover around the warm citrine at its center. The stone glows like late afternoon light on a winter window, suspended in open space, while a luminous baroque pearl drops below like a final soft note in a song that refuses to end.

Handcrafted in about 1900 and tested as 15 karat gold, this pendant measures 59 mm north to south, 35.3 mm across, and 8 mm deep, and it weighs 7.14 grams. The citrine is an impressive 5.5 carats, faceted to catch fire, even in low light. The pearl measures approximately 8 x 5 mm, irregular and utterly perfect in its natural form. There are no hallmarks, as is common for many Liberty & Co. pieces from this era, but the design language is unmistakable.

It is a pendant for someone who wants their jewelry to say something quietly remarkable; something about art, intention, and the elegance of form itself. Wear it, and the world leans in just a little closer.
