Elegant Art Deco Pendant with Diamonds in Platinum, c. 1930

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

This elegant pendant was created around 1930, as evidenced by its design and diamond cuts. It is open-worked and delicately crafted and discreet enough in size to be worn every day, not just as a collector's item. The pendant is designed around an old-cut diamond and has the characteristic drop-shaped pendulum form that is typical of pendants from this period. Small diamond roses add further sparkle. The lower element and the pendant loop are flexibly mounted to each other to ensure that they rest perfectly on the décolleté. In addition to its characteristic design, the workmanship also suggests that it was created during the Weimar Republic, because while the back of the pendant is made of yellow gold, the front has a fine layer of platinum, as can be seen under a magnifying glass. This combination is characteristic of early 20th century jewellery. We have added a platinum chain to the piece, which was commissioned by us for jewelry of this type in a small edition. We discovered the pendant itself in Thuringia, and it was also once made in Germany.

Imperial jewels, diamonds weighing dozens of carats and natural pearls of the same weight lie behind steel and glass in museums today, as silent witnesses to a bygone era. But it was not these pieces that once shaped the image of eras far removed from us today: it was the smaller, wearable but no less beautifully crafted jewels. The kind that might have been given to a young mother, worn by a debutante to her first ball, or saved up for a long time to finally adore her beloved. The Deutsche Goldschmiede-Zeitung wisely asked in 1904, "Where else but in private ownership are the living witnesses of the beauty of our time and its aspirations to be kept and preserved?" (DGZ 1904, P. 154). One such living witness, as if taken out of time, is the present pendant.
