Art Nouveau was an art of new beginnings. Painters, architects and artisans in all European countries had long suffered from the weight of historical tradition, which determined the forms of art as the only valid guideline. With the new century, they finally wanted to overcome the repetitive forms of historicism and create a new art for the here and now. In doing so, they discovered the forms of nature - and transformed them into art. This necklace is a wonderful example of this transformation. The delicate pendant in reddish gold is made up of curved arches that set diamonds and pearls. The design plays with symmetry and apparent coincidence, with the frame shapes swinging in and out full of energy and two small branches with diamond leaves and flowers appearing to grow over the shape of the frame. Unusually, the pendant is made from rose gold, without the platinum or silver plating that usually gives similar pendants a white, cool look. This pendant, on the other hand, has a warm glow and can therefore be combined with many pieces of jewellery from the late 19th century, when red gold was at the height of its popularity. Its vegetal lines with the characteristic whip motifs make it a typical piece of jewellery from the Art Nouveau period. This graceful piece of jewellery came to us from Stuttgart and is in very good condition. The accompanying chain, which was probably created later, is also made of gold and matches the pendant well in terms of color.
