This necklace was commissioned in 1973 by Mr and Mrs Jenkins for their son Toby’s 18th birthday the following year. (The Assay Office appears to have still been using the 1972 hallmark at the beginning of 1973).
Aquarius is the eleventh astrological sign in the zodiac, originating from the constellation Aquarius, the ‘Water Bearer’. The Sun is in the Aquarius sign between approximately 20 January and 18 February.
In Greek mythology a beautiful Phrygian youth, Ganymede, the son of Tros, king of Troy, was tending to his father's flocks on Mount Ida. Ganymede was spotted by Zeus, the king of gods, who fell in love with him and flew down to the mountain in the form of a large bird and whisked Ganymede away Mount Olympus, where he thereafter served as cup/water bearer to the gods, and gave his name to the constellation.
An original pen and watercolour design for this suite was sold as part of The Personal Archive of Louis Osman at Noonans in March 2018 (lot 287).
