Semi-precious stones are particularly common in the jewellery of the first decade of the 20th century, as they were valued not for their preciousness, but for the beauty of their colours and textures. Chrysoprase, for example, is a stone that was previously rarely found in jewellery, but whose potential was discovered at that time. This stone is the apple to mint green variety of chalcedony, whose intense colour and beautiful luster are best displayed as a cabochon. The stone takes its name from the Greek: χρυσός (chrysos) = "gold" and πράσον (prason) = "leek". Due to admixtures of nickel-containing kerolite, chrysoprase has a wonderful apple-green colour. Chrysoprase can be found in the serpentinite veins in Silesia, among other places. One such chrysoprase cabochon is set in the center of this gold filigree pendant. Two small natural pearls accompany it and lend the pendant a playful colourfulness that indicates that the piece of jewellery was intended to be worn during the day when it was created. The pendant is typical of the advanced Art Nouveau style of the years around 1910. Created in Germany, the pendant and its original chain are in very good condition.
