In the early years of the 20th century, goldsmiths in Europe achieved a fineness and delicacy of execution and design like never before. Tastes had changed and were tired of the heavy forms of the 19th century. But the technical conditions had also evolved, new tools and machines made it possible to work even finer and more precisely. Platinum, for example, now made it possible to create such fine yet durable bridges and details as had never been seen before. For all these reasons, the shapes also changed. The designs of these years often seem like delicate lace, so fine and light are the details. Brooches and necklaces, earrings and also rings are made of delicate nets, garlands and blossoms, whose design language has become known as a style of its own in the English-speaking world under the term "Garland Style". The necklace here is a wonderful example of this new, light style that dominated fashion throughout Europe until World War 1. A pendant formed of the finest platinum struts is attached to a delicate chain. Its shape is reminiscent of a lyre. Small laurel leaves and festoons with small diamonds divide the shape. Two slightly larger diamonds and three pearls form the accents. They are also white and bright, so all the elements come together to form a harmonious whole. The pendant is made of yellow gold with a platinum face. More recently, it has been rhodium plated. Since then, it shines uniformly white and also can not tarnish. The delicate chain, also made of platinum, we have added in our workshop to the antique work of the years around 1910.
