The wild years after the First World War gave women in all European countries a completely new attitude to life. After they had worked in industry and administration, trades and healthcare on a large scale for the first time during the war, there was no going back to the hearth and home. A general awakening brought with it new short hairstyles, body-hugging dresses and even new, sensual cosmetics. The new music of the time was just as revolutionary. Charleston, Foxtrot, Texas Tommy and numerous other jazz and swing dances brought a new freedom and physicality to the dance floor. New types of jewellery were naturally part of this, and it is not surprising that long necklaces became particularly popular, moving with the rhythm of the new music and the movements of the body and emphasizing the elegance of the dancer. These long strands of pearls, silk ribbons or fine platinum necklaces were always accompanied by large pendants. Since - unlike rings or bracelets - there were no practically mandatory form specifications for their function, the jewelry designers of the time were able to implement their ideas with particular freedom. They are usually elongated, symmetrical and of a cool, diamond-studded elegance. Basic geometric shapes, zigzag lines, stepped designs, but also Chinese and Indian influences characterize the best of these works. This pendant meets these requirements. Made from 14-karat white gold, the pendant sets a warmly sparkling 0.12-carat diamond in a geometric, cool, sparkling design. The structure of the piece of jewellery is reminiscent of a lantern, a swinging light-bringer in front of a strange temple. We have added a matching platinum chain to this beautiful piece of jewellery so that it can be worn immediately around the neck
