This necklace shines in monochromatic white, bathed in the light of diamonds, a natural pearl, and silver set on a platinum chain. And yet, thanks to the varying textures and play of light from these materials, it offers a rich visual experience. The two large old European cut diamonds radiate a cool, sparkling brilliance. The smaller diamonds, especially the rose cut diamonds, glow with a delicate, subtle shimmer. The pearl shimmers in bright white, yet with a soft luster. The silver, in turn, gains a surprising visual depth thanks to its textured finish with polished grooves, while the platinum of the chain adds a rather cool sheen. White jewellery like this were the standard choice for elegant evening wear at the beginning of the 20th century. Especially as dress fabrics became more delicate and brooches became harder to fasten, tastes shifted toward delicate necklaces. In the design world of high-quality jewellery c. 1900, the classical leaf motifs of the Garland Style stood on equal footing with the modern lines of Art Nouveau, as we see here. In total, the piece features a natural Oriental pearl along with approximately one carat of beautiful diamonds. We discovered this beautiful necklace in Schleswig-Holstein.
