Mineralogically, aquamarine is a variety of the mineral beryl, a representative of the group of minerals that also includes emerald and heliodor. It is therefore "only distinguished from emerald by its bluish-green or sea-like color", according to a handbook for jewelers from 1834. And further: "The aquamarine plays much more vividly than the emerald, and this is due to the extraordinary transparency of this stone. [...] It is used to make jewellery with a beautiful effect". The present pendant is just such an effective piece of jewellery, proving that the centuries-old tradition of jewels with such sea-blue stones was still very much alive in the middle years of the last century. In fact, aquamarine experienced an unprecedented popularity in the second third of the 20th century. Here, the gemstone is wonderfully showcased by an expressive prong setting in the abstract taste of the time. The pendant is in very good condition. It has been combined with a gold chain in a matching color so that it can be put on immediately.
