"Today's synthetic stones are technological masterpieces, which can often only be distinguished from real stones after laborious examination, even by experts. Spinels in the color of aquamarine, with their enchanting clarity and translucency, are particularly popular among these artistic creations. Set in real silver, the maturity of the rings in real gold, they arouse undivided admiration!" (From a 1939 jewellery catalog) Spinels in the color of aquamarines were all the rage in the first decades of the 20th century, as they could be produced in the laboratory. This meant that even ladies on a tight budget could suddenly afford beautiful gemstones that looked (almost) exactly like the precious aquamarines from faraway Brazil. This pendant is an example from the period in which the advertising text quoted above was written. It presents an aquamarine-colored, synthetically produced spinel in a silver setting. Powerful frames, shadow gaps and polished surfaces hold the stone and show a design language that refers to Streamline Moderne and late Art Déco. A simple silver chain, added by us, completes the beautiful pendant.
