Jewellery of the early years of the 20th century is remarkably delicate and finely crafted. These pieces were intended to subordinate themselves to the body, revealing their beauty in the details: "[...] jewellery must not only be sensibly adapted to the human form, but must also accentuate it, highlighting certain features of the figure. Otherwise it cannot lay claim to the name of jewellery." (Hermann Barth, Das Geschmeide, vol. 2, Berlin 1903, p. 13.) This piece was crafted according to this notion, as the elements of this pendant can be moved in all directions. In this way, they adapt ideally to the gentle curve of the décolleté and can move with the wearer's every movement. From the small diamonds that transition from the delicate chain to the large pendulum with the approx. 1.37-carat old-cut diamond, every detail has been carefully and lovingly crafted. Millegrains line each setting, so that even the smallest platinum surfaces are dissolved into a play of light reflections. The large diamond in particular is strikingly fiery and brilliant. It is beautifully accentuated in its delicate setting. This beautiful necklace is probably German in origin. It was created at the end of the Belle Époque, but before the triumphant rise of the angular-geometric Art Déco style.
