This delicate brooch, made of platinum, gold, pearls and a sparkling diamond, was created at the turn of the century c. 1900. It is a fine example of French-influenced Art Nouveau and its composition is reminiscent of a geometric pen drawing or a calligraphic line that thickens and tapers again in a gentle rhythm. Starting from a large old-cut diamond, two elegant, curved lines unfold and meet in a small pearl. A further pearl, or more precisely, a pearl blister, is attached in a movable manner. This is a pearl that has grown together in the pearl shell and was marketed as an "Antilles pearl" when the brooch was created. Its gentle movement lends the design grace and lightness. While the display side shines white and bright with its platinum overlay, the piece of jewellery itself is forged from a warm, reddish gold alloy. The elegant collar brooch is a typical example of the esprit of Art Nouveau. Its design is lively and elegant and the decoration is precious despite its small format. The Antillean pearl attached below was added to the brooch in more recent times. It replaces another, unfortunately lost pendulum. The brooch came to us from Lake Constance - as a sparkling testimony to an era that sought to merge art and life.
