In the post-war period, jewelry design was continuously and experimentally searching for new possibilities of expression. The aim was to create an independent abstract formal language that would stand out from the preceding historicizing styles and at the same time be recognizably contemporary and modern. The focus was often on the materiality of the pieces, the contrast, for example, between reflective and matte surfaces and the play of light and shadow. As vintage jewellery, these handcrafted creations are once again appreciated today, as they convince with their independent language of form. The present expressive pendant is made of solid silver and is a typical and particularly beautiful example of this period. The handcrafted piece is drop-shaped in design and presents on its front a large rhodonite in a wide framing accented with niello. Rhodonite is a mineral from the class of silicates and germanates. Its name comes from the ancient Greek language, where it appears as early as Mycenaean times as βρόδον ("the rosy/rose-scented"). In 1819 the mineral was described scientifically for the first time by Christoph Friedrich Jasche, who gave it this poetic name because of its color. The pendant, which found its way to us from Minden, Germany, is beautifully preserved and a wonderful addition to any collection of modern jewelry design.
