Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

Faceted citrines in heavy gold settings were a specialty in the years around 1870, but if you look for this gemstone in old literature, it is hardly ever mentioned: in the 19th century, citrine was mostly referred to as Scottish or Spanish topaz. As a result, there are not many mentions of citrine by name in the old gemstone literature, let alone in jewelry catalogues, despite its former popularity. Here is a particularly beautifully crafted piece of jewellery with a two-carat citrine from around 1870. The round-cut stone has the deep, rich colour of sherry and shows orange and reddish reflections due to its elaborate faceting. It is held by a simple frame and surrounded by a frame of natural pearls in prong settings. Three-part, curved bands, also set with pearls in the middle, show small ball soldering, which corresponds to the taste of the so-called archaeological style that was fashionable in these years. The piece of jewellery has a loop that turns it into a pendant. We assume, however, that the pendant began its life as a brooch and then became a pendant in the graduated 20th century. We had the chain made and added it to the pendant. The piece of jewellery came to us here in Berlin.
