Alle Auktionen / Schmuck und Edelsteine / Antique Diamond and Natural Pearl Pendant in Platinum on Gold, c. 1905
In the years around 1900, "Le Style Guirlande" countered Art Nouveau with a more classic, refined style in the world of jewellery. Borrowings from Louis XVI forms and fine motifs from classical antiquity enlivened a neoclassicism that valued small, delicate laurel tendrils as much as meticulous festoons, bows and embellishments with tiny milgrains. This elegant and prestigious style was particularly suitable for evening jewelry. Flashing diamonds and white platinum shone in the electrically lit ballrooms, sparkled in the subdued light of the opera boxes - in Paris as well as in Berlin, New York or St. Petersburg. This pendant also accompanied such evenings. The design is based on a bow, the ribbons of which sweep across the width of the design. A moving garland of flowers is mounted underneath, which culminates in a three-part arrangement of two large diamonds and a pearl at the bottom. In the center of the garland, a further diamond swings in a wreath of pearls beneath a leaf element. A total of around 3.59 ct of diamonds have been set. The design, the bright colors and the use of platinum were highly fashionable in the early years of the young 20th century. However, the pendant still retains a certain sense of tradition: The diamonds show proportions common to mid-19th century cuts and appear to have been used here in a second use, possibly taken from an heirloom. The warm, champagne hue of the diamonds is also typical of many historical diamonds - it was only towards the end of the century that they began to be graded more strictly according to color. As early as 1896, the Bazaar wrote that "the true lady of the world in London has almost as frequent visits to her jeweler as to her modiste. Soon she buys a new piece, soon jewels are set differently because fashion changes". The precious pendant reached us from Vienna. It is in very good condition. The quote from Der Bazar, 42 (1896), p. 144.
