Antique Negligé Necklace with Old European Cut Diamonds, circa 1910

In the early 20th century, a new form of necklace conquered Europe in just a short time. Especially younger ladies, who wanted to keep up with the latest changes in fashion, adorned themselves with it: We are talking of the so-called negligé necklace. Here, two pendulums of different lengths are attached to a decorative element like the unequal ends of a silk bow and form the showpiece of the necklace – just as if the bow had been tied in a hurry. The result is charming and informal, especially in contrast to the precious materiality of the necklace. The bow here is also sumptuously set, as two old European cut diamonds of exactly one carat each are suspended beneath a bow. The long, slender pendulums are mounted for movement, so that the large diamonds radiate brilliance and fire with every movement. Other, smaller diamonds sit on the knife-wires like tiny dewdrops. The ribbon motif is set with diamond roses whose watery luster shimmers subtly. The necklace is a first-class jewel of the Belle Époque and was created in the years around 1910. Surely it accompanied a lady of the aristocracy or bourgeoisie to many evenings full of lights and sparkling champagne – and yet it is excellently preserved to this day. We were able to discover the necklace here in Berlin, and it was probably once made in Germany. An independent certificate on the quality of the materials is enclosed with the necklace.
