Lightness and refinement were the aesthetic ideals in the first decades of the twentieth century. Diamonds shone brightly in platinum. In the transitional phase between the Belle Époque and Art Déco styles, the change in motifs was gradual, and many jewellery designs are similar to both eras. There were also similarities in the choice of materials. Diamonds and white precious metals were what made hearts beat faster. They shone seductively in the electric light and radiated a modern luxury. This necklace was created during this period of change, in the years around 1920. Its design is minimalist; the pendulum, which is firmly attached to the delicate silver chain, consists of a group of three diamonds, under which almond-shaped elements lead to a drop-shaped decorative element. A sparkling old-cut diamond of around 0.15 ct glitters here in a sophisticated illusion setting that surrounds it with shadows, visually increasing its size and brilliance. Here, sawn shadow gaps, fine milgrains and smaller diamonds dissolve the shape into a flicker of white light reflections. This pendant is typically made of platinum on gold. The beautiful necklace is in very good condition. It was probably made in Germany.
