Skåne province, in the extreme south of Sweden, has the richest tradition, and more jewellery was worn there than in any other district.   Almost all the Swedish traditional jewellery at the V&A comes from Skåne.  \r\n\r\nThe most popular necklace was a choker, made of several chains fastened at the front with a large decorative snap clasp.  These are often decorated with filigree and coloured pastes.  Swedish traditional jewellers made lavish use of coloured glass.  Red was the most popular colour, as everywhere in Europe, but Swedish women were also fond of a clear blue which is rare elsewhere.  These traditional necklaces often have a small pendant heart hanging from the clasp.\r\n\r\nThe clasp on this necklace is marked with the griffin mark of Ystad, the date letter Q3, for 1822, and the maker's mark IPL.  Jöns Petter Larsson was a silversmith who worked in Ystad from 1817 to 1832.","physicalDescription":"Choker consisting of two graduated chains with a large decorative clasp at the front, with a heart-shaped red paste pendant suspended from the lower edge.
