This piece of jewellery has a long history - and quietly whispers it to anyone who allows themselves to take in its beauty. The pendant itself is set with sparkling diamonds and three large natural pearls in silver and gold. Its design reflects the taste of late historicism and is quietly reminiscent of rococo girandoles, but the delicate bars and elegant leaves also reveal its origins around 1900, with the diamonds set in silver, shaped in old cuts and possessing a soft sheen. The pearls in a baroque drop shape shimmer in shades ranging from rosé to gray. They are held in place by fine gold leaves. The necklace, to which the pendant was attached around two generations later, takes up the theme of the pendant: It is made of pearls and features a clasp with diamonds. Of course, in the 1930s, platinum was chosen to set the diamonds, but the clasp shines just as brightly and lightly as the pendant. The pearls are creamy white and slightly baroque. The majority of them are natural saltwater pearls. Only recently has the necklace been extended with a few Akoya pearls, which blend in perfectly with the Oriental pearls. The hallmarks on the side of the pendant reveal that it was imported to France in more recent times; we discovered it, together with the pearl necklace, in Paris. The pendant can be easily attached to the pearl necklace using a bail on the back. There are several ways to wear the piece: as an elegant, delicate pearl necklace in matinée length, with the pendant as particularly festive jewellery - or you can wear the pendant on a black velvet ribbon for a different, but no less elegant look.
