Description

The perpetual alternation of day and night has been a symbol of the cycle of life since ancient times. In this necklace, this idea of opposites belonging together is captured in a piece of jewelry. Created shortly before 1900, this piece of jewelry features a dark, midnight-blue sapphire at its center, framed by a ring of diamonds. The diamonds in the historic old cut, the "Old European Cut", set the sapphire against white light reflections. The interplay between the sapphire and diamond is particularly beautiful, as the contrasting color of the stones enhances their effect enormously. The sapphire with its diamond frame is designed as a long pendulum and is connected to a delicate chain via a thin bar. The transition is formed by two leaves set with further diamonds, which appear to grow out of a larger old-cut diamond. Another diamond occupies the center of the movably attached bar. Typical of late 19th century jewellery, the gemstones are set in reddish gold. Only the leaves at the upper end are set with a silver overlay. The elegant sapphire and diamond pendulum was probably part of a so-called "fringe necklace" in the 1890s. It was later reworked into a more delicate necklace to suit the taste of a new, less opulent era. The platinum necklace is therefore a modern addition.
