While the forms of Art Deco in the 1920s were still slender and strict, crystalline and geometric, the 1930s saw a return to more sculptural, voluminous designs. It is often only the details that give the designs of this period a completely new character. In the case of this necklace, for example, platinum and white gold, fine milgrains, diamonds and a brightly coloured stone can be found, as in previous years. However, instead of setting the aquamarine vertically, as in the 1920s, the aquamarine is given a completely new, powerful presence thanks to its horizontal position. The geometric frame has given way to a historicizing network of tendrils. And where a wafer-thin platinum chain would have been attached in the 1920s, a thicker twisted chain now holds the design. The craftsmanship with which the piece was made also suggests a date in the 1930s. The centerpiece is crafted in platinum on white gold, a technique that is almost exclusively found in the interwar years. The proportions of the single cut diamonds are individual and they are set side by side with rose cut diamonds. In keeping with the convincing design and perfect craftsmanship, a particularly high-quality aquamarine was selected for the necklace. The stone weighs more than eleven carats and has an intense, uniform color. The multi-step cut creates many luminous reflections inside the stone, so that the necklace shines brightly when worn. The necklace skillfully bridges the aesthetic gap between minimalism and opulence, austerity and romance. We were able to discover it in Frankfurt am Main. As its workmanship and hallmark show, it was created in Germany.
