The grand ball, the highlight of the season, is slowly drawing to a close. The supper has been served, the band is still playing and the champagne has heated up the atmosphere. An almost oppressive warmth has taken over the ballroom. Longing for something cooler, we escape to the wide balcony overlooking the dark park and, in the distance, the lights of the city. A cool breeze blows towards us in relief, soft laughter reaches our ears, the stars twinkle and the moon shines pale from behind the treetops. Suddenly - this view from the other end of the terrace... All these emotions of a ball night of the last century live on in the sparkle of the star-like old European cut diamonds and the midnight blue sapphire of this delicate necklace. Sixteen diamonds are elegantly juxtaposed to frame a dark blue sapphire in a drop-shaped facet cut. Three more diamonds lead to a delicate platinum chain that makes the sparkling arrangement wearable. All parts shine white and bright. The firmly mounted pendant is made of gold with a platinum front. This was a typical process at the beginning of the 20th century to create white shining jewels. Platinum was significantly more expensive than gold and far more complicated to work with, which is why it was usually used rolled onto gold. The pendant bears the mark of the Berlin jeweler Wilhelm Müller. The company had been trading in gemstones, pearls, jewels, gold and silver jewellery since 1847. Most of the creations were made in the branches in the gold town of Pforzheim and the silver town of Schwäbisch-Gmünd. The head office of the family business was located in Gertraudenstraße in Berlin-Mitte and still exists today. We discovered the necklace here in Berlin and it comes with a detailed appraisal.
