In the years around 1900, the curved, natural forms of Art Nouveau were primarily associated with artistic natures, with the bohemians of the time - in short, those who wore striking Art Nouveau creations tended to like it daring, risqué. In aristocratic circles and among the wealthy bourgeoisie, fashion developed towards more classic forms instead. This was based on the gallant style that had dominated the reign of French King Louis XVI a century earlier: laurel wreaths, garlands and bow motifs adorned the white platinum jewelry - the so-called high jewellery - for the evening, but also the gold jewelry for the day. This style was called "Garland Style", and this pendant illustrates how appropriate this name was. A garland-like band of gold flutters beneath a bow in the taste of Louis XVI, studded with pearls at regular intervals and gathered by them as if gathered. In the center of the frame formed in this way, the double leaf with a diamond blossom, characteristic of this style, swings. Its brilliance completes the composition of velvety, matt shimmering gold and softly shining pearls to create a harmonious trilogy. The fine gold chain on which we have already discovered the pendant is also antique and, like the pendant, was created in Germany. It is possible that both were acquired at the same time.
