Diamond jewellery celebrates the light. Towards the end of the 19th century, the introduction of the electric light bulb almost turned night into day. Now jewellery could also shine in the evening with an intensity that had hardly been possible before. At the grand balls in Paris, London and St. Petersburg, ever more magnificent diamond necklaces, tiaras, brooches and rings appeared, all shining compositions of white diamonds. When platinum and later white gold came into fashion, this bright brilliance was complete. This is a characteristic example of this period. A curved bar with an elongated pendant set with diamonds is attached to a fine platinum anchor chain. The centerpiece of the design is a radiant blossom of seven diamonds in a slightly cushion-shaped old cut. Small shadow gaps set the stones apart from one another, giving the flower an almost floating appearance. Further diamonds adorn both the pendulum and the small leaves that lead to the blossom. A total of fourteen diamonds are set. Two of them are rose-cut, the others are old mine cut. Together, the stones have a total weight of around 2.14 ct. The piece of jewellery is in very good condition. The platinum chain was renewed by us so that the piece of jewellery can be worn carefree. It came to us here in Berlin.
