Lightness and sophistication were the aesthetic ideals of the Belle Époque, the years of joie de vivre between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the First World War. Diamonds shone brightly in platinum. Gallant motifs such as laurel garlands, flowers and bows - borrowed from the cheerful neoclassicism of Marie Antoinette's time - were combined to create ever new jewelry creations. In the electric light, the aristocracy and industrialists had many opportunities to show off fine pieces of jewellery in the evening. The necklace presented here was created towards the very end of the Belle Époque, in the years around 1915. Its design is pared down, with the pendulum firmly attached to the delicate chain consisting of platinum rings and small leaves set with diamonds in between. Two pearls add a warm white to the color scheme, but the highlight of the design is at the very bottom: It is a sparkling old-cut diamond of around 0.30 ct in a sophisticated illusion setting that surrounds it with shadows, visually enhancing its size and brilliance. The beautiful necklace is in very good condition. It was probably created in Germany.
