The fashion of the first decade after 1900 brought a completely new development. As before, the pieces of jewellery made of platinum, silver and diamonds shone in bright white. However, the shapes now became lighter, more delicate, even ethereal. The increasingly practiced use of platinum in particular made it possible to create the most delicate bars and structures. Hardly more than the threads in a spider's web, these designs stretch out like an airy web, whether as a pendant, a brooch or a ring. And they always feature shining diamonds. This necklace exemplifies the qualities of this period. It presents a filigree pendant with a diamond on a delicate chain. The golden body of the pendant in the shape of a widening drop has a platinum display side. An old-cut diamond of around 0.14 ct shines in the center. Small diamond roses are scattered across the platinum surface and sparkle with every incidence of light. Delicate engravings, arabesque sawing and fine milgrains dissolve the shapes into a play of white light with wonderful shadow effects. The workmanship in platinum on gold is typical of early 20th century jewellery. A modern platinum chain makes the necklace immediately wearable.
