This necklace glows in monochromatic white, bathed in the light of diamonds, natural pearls, and silver: yet it offers the eye a rich visual thanks to the varying textures and play of light from these materials. The large old-cut diamond radiates a cool, sparkling brilliance. The smaller diamonds, especially the rose-cut ones, shimmer with a delicate, subtle glow. The pearls shine bright white, yet with a soft luster. The silver, in turn, gains a surprising visual depth thanks to its milgrains. White jewellery like this was 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, the trend shifted toward delicate necklaces. In the design world of high-quality jewellery, as seen here, the modern lines of Art Nouveau blended with the classical leaf motifs of the Garland Style. We discovered this beautiful necklace in Hamburg. It is particularly lovely that the original chain accompanying the pendant has been preserved.
