Description

The years shortly after 1900 brought a new style to the world of jewellery with the so-called "Garland Style", which contrasted Art Nouveau with a more classical, refined style. Borrowings from Louis XVI forms and fine motifs from classical antiquity enlivened a neoclassicism that valued small, delicate laurel leaves as much as meticulous festoons, large bow motifs and embellishments with tiny milgrains. The pieces of jewellery in this style are almost always characterized by a precision of execution that matches the delicacy of the designs. The precious stones are set in the finest platinum and gold settings with a master's hand; delicate movable pendulums and cleverly changeable functions still delight the connoisseur's eye today. What's more, these special jewels in white radiate an unearthly seductiveness, a little otherworldly and therefore particularly luxurious. This is a beautiful example of this style of jewelry. It consists of a finely crafted showpiece that is attached to a delicate platinum anchor chain. A large loop set all over with small old-cut diamonds, which appears to be loosely tied, holds a sparkling wreath of larger, bezel-set old-cut diamonds and rose-cut diamonds. A pendulum is movably mounted in it, presenting the largest diamond of the jewel, which is visually extended by smaller diamonds to form a drop. A total of 90 diamonds in historic cuts have been set and shine particularly brightly and brilliantly thanks to their platinum setting. The necklace exemplifies the design language of the Garland style, which dominated the early years of the 20th century. It came to us from Munich, is in very good condition and can still be worn excellently even after more than a century.
