As the turn of the century approached, fashion became increasingly light and optimistic, as if the new beginning of the century had also ushered in a new era in taste. A glance at contemporary jewelry catalogs vividly illustrates this shift. Where heavy designs in yellow gold had previously dominated, pages upon pages of “modern necklaces” now appear. The 1913–14 catalog of the Pforzheim jeweler F. Todt features a wide selection of such designs: bows, diamonds, and light-colored platinum dominate the pages. The necklace presented here was also created during this period. Its design is minimalist. The pendant, securely attached to the delicate yellow gold chain, begins with a bow set with diamond roses. At its center, a long pendant is attached to a single cut diamond. The highlight of the design is a sparkling old-cut diamond of approximately 0.15 carats in a sophisticated illusion setting, which surrounds the stone with delicate shadows and thus visually enhances its size and brilliance. Necklaces like this one were crafted in various materials. Here, a total of 0.20 carats of diamonds are set in platinum, while the back is made of yellow gold. We discovered this necklace in the Lower Rhine region. It was most likely made in Germany during the final years of the German Empire.
