Lightness and sophistication were the aesthetic ideals of the Belle Époque, the years of joie de vivre between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the First World War. Diamonds shone brightly in platinum. Gallant motifs such as laurel garlands, flowers and bows – borrowed from the cheerful neoclassicism of Marie Antoinette's time – were combined to create ever new jewellery creations. In the electric lighting of festive evenings, the aristocracy and industrialists had many opportunities to show off fine pieces of jewellery. The bow is also the motif of this delicate necklace, created towards the end of the Belle Époque c. 1910. It shines bright white thanks to the platinum plating on the gold body. Beneath the three-dimensional ribbon motif, with a single diamond shining at its intersection, is a slender pendulum that slightly widens to accommodate further diamonds. The showpiece is suspended below: a sparkling old-cut diamond of around 0.40 ct in a sophisticated illusion setting that surrounds it with shadows, visually increasing its size and brilliance. The beautiful necklace is in very good condition. It was probably created in Germany. The white gold chain was renewed at a later date.
