TURN-of-the-CENTURY,
EDWARDIAN &

JEWELRY
circa 1901-1920

This is my maternal grandmother, Agnes
Jeanette King Negley. I knew her only from family stories... she was
born in Kentucky in 1891 and died in 1930 when my own Mother was only
eight years old. Her box of jewelry was passed
on to me and enchanted me completely and permanently with jewelry. Her
jewelry was from the early 1900's. Notice the wonderful
lavaliere she is wearing
in the photograph at left. (The term "lavaliere" was derived from
the Duchesse de La Vallière, the mistress of Louis XIV in the
1660s.)
Her cameo, lavalieres and seed pearl star brooch are shown below. As
a young girl, she received the tiny gold ring with a
gypsy set diamond (shown at right). It is engraved on the inside with her initials "AJK"
and I have worn it most of my life.
EDWARDIAN, named after King Edward VII, or Belle Epoque jewelry
dates from about 1901-1920. Highlighted by the use of platinum, diamonds
and pearls, knife-edged settings, lavalieres, garlands, bows, wreaths,
lacy filigrees, star and crescent motifs all typified the era.

weight from .01 ct to .02 ct, VS, G-1) and one
central fresh water pearl (9.0mm by 7.0mm). The watch is 1" across;
the watch pin is 1" by 1". The watch case is
engraved on the inside from a father to his daughter and dated Christmas 1904.
The case is marked "Swiss, A.W., K14, 127911" and a squirrel hallmark.
There are no numbers or marks on the works.
