White jewels, i.e. pieces of jewellery with bright, radiant colors, celebrate light. Towards the end of the 19th century, the introduction of electric light almost turned night into day. Now jewellery could shine in the evening with an intensity that had hardly been possible before. At the grand balls in Paris, London and St. Petersburg, ever more magnificent diamond necklaces, tiaras, brooches and rings appeared, all sparkling compositions of white diamonds. Initially, the designs were still based on the clear forms of classicism. Delicate leaves, bows and geometric ornaments dominated the scene. With the advent of modernism, however, the forms became freer, more dynamic and more abstract. Finally, the clear and elegant design language of Art Deco prevailed. This is a particularly beautiful example of this period. The delicate necklace combines the bright radiance of old diamonds with the cool metallic shine of platinum, creating a subtle interplay of light and movement. A trapezoidal pendant is firmly mounted in a simple anchor chain, the design of which was developed entirely from the Art Deco preference for clear geometries. An openwork frame with fine saw cuts and milgrains sets three diamonds in the center, which are arranged in a graduated pattern. The largest of the stones weighs around half a carat. In total, just over 0.80 ct of beautiful old diamonds have been used. Thanks to the movable design, the light from the stones seems to glide almost fluidly down the décolleté, creating that lively sparkle that makes pieces of jewellery from this period so special. The pendant is made from gold with a platinum front. The necklace is in very good condition and can be worn immediately. We found it here in Berlin.
