Description

This necklace is thoroughly modern. Blossoms of natural pearls and diamonds sprout from a diamond, as if from an abstract basket of flowers. They blend into a delicate design of platinum struts and filigree ornaments. No heavy materials were used. The preciousness of the necklace is expressed in the artistic design, in the refinement of the goldsmith's art. The abstract, graphic aesthetic of the necklace is characteristic of Art Nouveau designs in German-speaking countries: a modern, linear design language, as made famous by the Wiener Werkstätten, for example, and which clearly differs from the floral Art Nouveau of the French style. The platinum and diamond design, which makes the necklace a so-called 'Weißjuwel' (all-white jewel), indicates that it was created shortly after 1900. The pendant is firmly attached to a chain, whose unusual length of approx. 65.0 cm also shows that it was no longer worn with the corseted dresses of the turn of the century. Rather, the silhouette of a long necklace supported the new, streamlined dresses produced by such houses as Paquin, Worth and Poiret at the beginning of the 1910s. The first owner of the necklace would certainly have owned one: The piece itself shows that she was a lady who observed the latest trends in art and fashion with a keen eye and was not afraid to go her own way.
