At the turn of the century 1899-1900, fashion became light and optimistic, as if the new beginning of the century had also brought a new beginning in the area of taste. A look at contemporary jewelry catalogs shows this change. Where previously heavy designs in yellow gold had dominated, we now encounter pages and pages of "modern necklaces". The catalog of the jeweler F. Todt from Pforzheim for the year 1913/14 shows a large selection of corresponding designs; we reproduce an exemplary double page; however, the selection goes even further and also includes jewellery in the fashionable Art Nouveau style. The necklace shown here was also created at this time. It is made of platinum and presents two pendulums of different lengths on an oval frame set with diamonds. On the left, a drop-shaped tourmaline is suspended in a setting of high-carat gold. On the right is a large, natural pearl. It is a freshwater pearl, probably from the Mississippi or one of its tributaries. Both pendulums are set with further diamonds and glowing red synthetic rubies. Necklaces like this one were made from a variety of materials. They are often only set with diamonds, but as here, designs with colored stones, usually in one color, combined with white are also encountered. The combination of red synthetic rubies and a violet-red tourmaline, as here, is rather unusual - but nevertheless creates a beautiful, harmonious picture. We discovered the necklace in Bremen. It was most likely created in Germany.
