Delicate, beautifully executed in detail and wonderfully preserved: The early 20th century necklace here is a piece just waiting for the beautiful neck of a new wearer. The necklace consists of an elongated pendant divided into two parts, which is firmly attached to a fine silver chain. The design here consists first of a beautiful old-cut diamond, under which is set a small flower of diamond roses. Two more diamond roses lead over to a teardrop-shaped antique pearl. It appears as if the pendant represents a flower, which sprouts up from the lower pearl to bloom in shimmering light. The pearl at the bottom of the pendant is a so-called "Antillean pearl". This term was used in the jewellery trade at the turn of the century to describe pearls that were not actually pearls at all, but were cut from blisters, or shells. They are therefore sections of mother-of-pearl, but they have the luster and shine of real pearls. The always irregular shape of these Antillean pearls, which are probably named after their original main place of discovery in the Caribbean, was especially popular with the jewelry designers of Art Nouveau, with their preference for everything irregular and asymmetrical. But these pearls were also used in more classically inspired jewelry, such as this elegant necklace: and continue to impress here today.
