In the years around 1900, the so-called "Garland Style" brought a design vocabulary to the world of jewellery that contrasted Art Nouveau with a more classic, refined style. Borrowings from Louis XVI forms and fine motifs from classical antiquity enlivened a neoclassicism that valued small, delicate laurel tendrils as much as meticulous festoons and embellishments with tiny milgrains. This piece also demonstrates this elegant style. Fine garlands of laurel leaves, highlighted with platinum, are applied to a body formed by golden curves. Small rose diamonds glitter between them. Small pearls are set above and below this composition. The strict symmetry of the design gives the delicate, playful work a classic touch. Very similar designs, but conceived as a brooch, can be found in the catalog of the jewellers E. Bannse from Paris, for example, see design no. 458 at the bottom left. The catalog was published c. 1910, and this pendant was also created during this period. We discovered the pendant in London and added a new gold chain. It is made of particularly fine links and therefore perfectly matches the elegant pendant.
