Pavlova created an elegant and graceful performance. Her passion was intense and was seen in all her performances including those with her dancing partner Vaslav Nijinsky in 1909, which were part of Diaghilev’s first Russian season in Paris. Anna Pavlova was born in St Petersburg in 1881. She fell in love with the world of ballet following a visit to see “The Sleeping Beauty” at the tender age of eight. Ballet became the focus of her life after enrolling at the Imperial School of Ballet when she was ten. Her debut came after her graduation eight years later when she performed in a pas de trios in “La Fille Mal Gardee” Pavlova set up her own ballet school in London in 1912. She toured all over the world including Japan, India and America. Through these tours, managed by her husband Victor Dandre, she became a financially successful and famous dancer. In 1930 Pavlova developed double pneumonia. Her only comfort whilst struggling against death was her swan costume which she had asked to be brought to her. Although dying she did not want to be separated from her life’s joy and purpose – dance. Anna Pavlova is well remembered for her elegance and grace in dancing and in her fashion taste. Numerous photographs show her wearing fabulous clothes and hats. Her love of fine things also extended to jewellery including this fine mid-Victorian ruby, diamond and pearl pendant which was once part of her collection.
