Description

At the beginning of the 20th century, jewellery was not only required to be beautiful for its own sake. It should also emphasize the beauty of the wearer: "Jewellery must not only be a perfect fit for the human form, it must also accentuate it and highlight 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 flattering form also characterizes the present necklace, which came to us in Berlin. Made of warm, shiny, reddish gold, this piece presents an airy network of gold bars and rings on a delicate anchor chain. Natural pearls and sparkling old-cut diamonds are set alternately between the garlands of gold chains. Wonderfully soft and supple, the necklace drapes on the décolleté and appears almost textile. The necklace is in very good condition. We were able to discover it in southern Germany. It was probably also made in Germany.
