With the discovery of diamond deposits in South Africa shortly after the middle of the 19th century, diamonds became available in large quantities for the first time in history. As a logical consequence, jewellery made entirely from diamonds became the focus of jewellery designers. Around the turn of the century, these were often designs that drew their inspiration from the classical period between Marie Antoinette and Napoleon. Garlands, laurel leaves and bows characterized this style - the former even gave it its name: "Garland Style". This pendant is a piece in the Garland style. The main focus is on a large, clear old-cut diamond of over one carat and of wonderful brilliance and fire. It hangs below two small leaves on a delicate knife-edge bar from a dynamically designed loop. Here, too, further, smaller diamonds sparkle. The hanger for a narrow chain is hidden behind the bow. The pendant is made of platinum, the most precious and modern precious metal available to goldsmiths at the time. This beautiful piece was created around 1910 and showcases the large diamond with lightness and sophistication, without appearing excessive. A wearable piece of jewellery history!
