In the jewellery fashion of the 1950s, many forms and combinations of materials enjoyed great popularity, which had already emerged in the period around 1930. At the same time, these were refined and changed again and again to adapt to the changing times. Such a piece is also present here. The pendant is a so-called "vegetable jewel". Such jewellery is always made of gold in the form of leaves and flowers, set with precious coloured stones and diamonds. This kind of jewellery got its name because of this decoration, from whose foliage the precious stones look out like ripe fruits. However, while in the Art Deco period one liked to wear so-called Gemüse-Ringe, "vegetable rings", our piece of jewellery is to be worn as a pendant. Also, in the time of the economic miracle, the use of materials has turned out incomparably richer: Stylized, leaves, vines and grapes, handcrafted from high-carat yellow gold, crowd close together. The piece is set with green emeralds, red rubies, blue sapphires and four high-quality brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of about 0.92 ct. The pendant is in very good condition and found its way to us from Nuremberg. Some more jewellery of this type can be found e.g. in Christianne Weber: Schmuck der 1920er und 1930er Jahre in Deutschland, Stuttgart 1990.
