As in art and fashion, jewellery in earlier times also repeatedly returned to older, bygone eras and reinterpreted their forms in the spirit of their own time. In the 1930s, for example, the clear lines of Art Deco were accompanied by a fashion that drew on the 19th century, particularly the forms of the Biedermeier and Neo-Baroque periods. This necklace with a magnificent pendant is a typical representative of this trend, in which Art Déco and Biedermeier form a successful synthesis. The necklace consists of ornamented links in yellow gold. Its fine volutes and leaf motifs are reminiscent of pieces of jewellery from the 1840s. The pendant also features these ornaments, enhanced by small diamond roses. An impressively large moonstone shimmers in the center of the pendant. The stone is cut as a tall, oval cabochon and shimmers in soft pastel shades that alternate between grayish blue and a misty green. A soft shimmer glides over the stone depending on the lighting. This so-called chatoyance, also known as the cat's eye effect, is typical of moonstones from the Indian subcontinent. Despite the individual shapes, the magnificent overall design of the necklace and pendant is typical of the 1930s.
