Description

This pendant is a beautiful example of fashionable jewellery from the early years of the last century. The silver piece of jewellery comes from one of the many Pforzheim manufactories that came up with extremely modern and artistic, yet affordable designs at the turn of the century. The cast silver pendant features a shimmering pearl shell in its center, framed by a ring of small dark blue glass stones. Glittering metallic marcasite roses adorn the edge of the design, which is shaped like an elongated quatrefoil. The design follows the new graphic style of Art Nouveau at the time, which already leads to Art Deco. The form is stricter and more geometric than the French works of the same period - typical of German designs. According to the hallmark, our pendant is a work by Levinger & Bissinger. Further information on Pforzheim jewellery in French and German Art Nouveau forms can be found in the wonderfully illustrated volume by Fritz Falk: Jugendstil-Schmuck aus Pforzheim, Stuttgart 2008, here with works by Levinger & Bissinger on pages 209-243.
