The great diamond discoveries in South Africa made diamond jewellery ubiquitous at the end of the 19th century - soon even a necessity for luxurious evening wear. Heavy rivière necklaces and large diamond stars were primarily intended to showcase the new wealth of these precious stones. However, the more this diamond fashion progressed, the more it began to be considered chic to stand out through the delicacy and sophistication of the design - while presenting pieces of jewellery of consistent preciousness. In 1912, one read about the jewels of the season that fashion was moving towards "wonderful designs in diamond lace, which require so much skill and work that, despite the fact that the precious stones used are now smaller than ever before, pieces of jewellery of this kind cost no less than at the time when the most massive stones were used and little attention was paid to the question of settings." The necklace presented here is just such a piece: a jewel of incomparable luxury that derives its beauty not from the mere juxtaposition of large stones, but from their skillful integration into an artistic design. Around 1.70 ct of fine diamonds are set in platinum here - but they are naturally subordinate to the overall design of the composition. For all its material preciousness and impressive size, the necklace retains an extremely delicate, light appearance. Hand-cut openings, narrow platinum struts and fine milgrains give the necklace a lace-like, textile appearance. This magnificent jewel tells of the culmination of craftsmanship and refined taste in the 1920s. We were able to discover it in the Wannsee district of Berlin.
