The centerpiece of this impressive necklace is a citrine weighing over 83 carats. The luminous, intense yellow-orange stone is oval faceted in a mixed cut and set in warmly glowing yellow gold. Restrained prongs and an openwork gallery with additional arches hold the stone and ensure that it does not tilt when worn. An openwork agraffe motif forms the upper end of the design and leads to the loop. The expressive design of this section is reminiscent of the Art Deco era, or more precisely the German version of this international style. We see abstract plant forms made of lancet-shaped leaves, behind which golden arches and spirals fan out elegantly. The lines of movement and ornamentation are entirely in keeping with the taste of the late 1920s. Art Deco in Central Europe loved geometry and at the same time bizarre, abstracted natural forms, which can be found in jewellery as well as in contemporary architecture and fashion. Compare, for example, the grilles and decorative paintings of the Renaissance Theater in Berlin, rebuilt between 1926 and 1928, or the Grassi Museum in Leipzig (1926/27). The warm, shiny golden colors already point to the change in taste of the early 1930s. This pendant speaks exactly the same language: it is generously proportioned, the shapes complement each other elegantly and catch the light in an artistic way. We therefore assume that the pendant was made in Germany, even though it bears no hallmarks to prove this. We discovered the piece of jewellery in Nuremberg and added a matching gold chain.
