A coulant de sautoir is a clip or slider designed for a pearl necklace. Particularly popular in France around the turn of the twentieth century, this type of jewel allowed long necklaces and strands of pearls to be worn and styled in a variety of ways. The present example centres on a richly coloured violet amethyst weighing more than 17 carats. Surrounding the amethyst are twenty brilliant-cut diamonds with a combined weight of approximately one carat. Arranged like the petals of a stylised flower, they frame the central gemstone and complement it with their lively sparkle. The airy white-gold settings blend harmoniously into the design, as the pale colour of the precious metal recedes visually, allowing the gemstones themselves to take centre stage. The clip is intended for use with a pearl necklace. On the reverse, it features circular openings suitable for Akoya pearls measuring approximately 6.5 to 7.5 mm in diameter. Long pearl strands may be gathered decoratively or adjusted in length with its help. The large amethyst introduces a striking accent to the otherwise white and cream-coloured appearance of a classic pearl necklace. We discovered this unusual and elegant object in Berlin-Dahlem.
