At the turn of the century, fashion became light and optimistic, as if the new beginning of the century had also brought a new beginning in the area of taste. A look at contemporary jewelry catalogs shows this change. Where previously heavy designs in yellow gold had dominated, we now encounter pages and pages of "modern necklaces". The catalog of the jeweller F. Todt from Pforzheim for the year 1913/14 shows a large selection of corresponding designs; we reproduce an exemplary double page. The necklace shown here was also created at this time. It is made of gold with a platinum front and presents a bar set with diamonds on a delicate anchorlette, into the center of which a large old-cut diamond is set. Two pendulums of different lengths are attached to it. These two movable pendants are also set with diamonds: In addition to small diamond roses, another four larger diamonds are set here in the so-called old mine cut, whose cuts are presumably older than the necklace itself. In those years, numerous companies were modernizing old, outdated pieces of jewelry or setting old stones in a modern way. We therefore assume that the necklace holds gemstones that once adorned another piece of jewellery. In total, the five large diamonds weigh around one carat and are of a very impressive quality. We discovered this beautiful and contemporary piece of jewellery in Stuttgart.
