In the early years of the 20th century, goldsmiths in Europe achieved a finesse of execution and design like never before. Tastes had changed and were tired of the heavy forms of the 19th century. However, the technical requirements had also developed further, with new tools and machines making it possible to work even more finely and precisely. Platinum, for example, now made it possible to create fine yet durable bridges and details that had never been seen before. For all these reasons, the shapes also changed. The designs of these years often look like delicate lace, so fine and light are the details. Brooches and necklaces, earrings and even rings are made of delicate netting, garlands and flowers: this necklace is a wonderful example of this new, light style, which dominated fashion throughout Europe until the First World War. Attached to a delicate chain is a symmetrical arrangement of gold with a finely open-worked platinum front. Diamonds set every available spot, further diamonds set a small shamrock and delicate laurel leaves, individual diamonds are set in frames on fine lattice structures that form elegant curves. Two small natural pearls adorn the transition to the necklace and a small pearl is pendant-mounted. The necklace is handmade and exquisitely decorated. We discovered it in Amsterdam. It has survived with its original chain in its original case from the Utrecht jeweler Cornelis Begeer.
