The fashions and styles do not always follow one another in a beautiful, orderly sequence. Much more often, ideas and influences mix and create something new and unique. Art Nouveau began in France with curved, dynamic lines. Shortly afterwards, artists in Germany and Austria, inspired by Expressionism, created designs that were just as dynamic but more graphic and angular, foreshadowing the ideas of Art Deco. This pendant also combines nature and geometry. A wildly proliferating leaf made of diamonds and an oval slice of mother-of-pearl lies on an abstract frame. Vines wind around the straight bars of the background. A large, baroque pearl is attached to the design. A round disc of mother-of-pearl leads to the chain at the top. The theme of the design is also alive in these variations, the contrast between geometry and grown nature. The strict geometry of the design would be inconceivable in France, while the baroque pearl and the expressive sweep of the leaf are not at all in keeping with Art Deco. It is precisely this mixture that makes the necklace so special. It is a design that resists easy categorization, but that is precisely where its appeal lies. We really like the high-quality handcrafted necklace. We discovered it in Hanover. It is in very good condition.
