The Art Déco jewellery fashions did not bring new, completely unseen abstract and geometric patterns into the world at once – rather, they were based on the developments that had already moved the world of jewellery shortly before the first great war. Numerous designs from the first two decades of the 20th century are already surprisingly modern and avant-garde. They present themselves to the attentive eye as a link between the romantic forms of the Belle Époque and the cool geometry of Art Déco. This pendant is no exception: delicate and fine in format, dipped in romantic nuances of raspberry red and lilac, it contrasts these soft elements with a straightforward, linear design language. Beneath a platinum bail covered with diamond roses is a narrow bar set with untreated Burma rubies. Set close together, they form an uninterrupted line. This technique of "calibrated cut" gemstones is a complex technique that is rarely used today. Below, a natural saltwater pearl, slightly grayish, with a wonderful, subtly lilac-colored luster, hangs in a frame of diamond and platinum, creating a charming complement to the rubies. The pendant was imported to Paris in earlier times, as its hallmark shows. However, it was not made in France and may have been crafted in Germany or England. We have supplemented it with a matching platinum chain, which was newly created on our behalf.
