Beautiful Edwardian or Victorian design, with three rows of gold bars and a twist overlay of seed pearls and two gold swirls. Seed pearls added femininity, refinement, and sophistication to the jewelry they adorned, and reached the height of their popularity in the Victorian Era. The Victorians, who loved using jewelry as symbolic sentiments, viewed pearls as a sign of purity.
