In the Weimar Republic, it was not only the angular diamond jewellery of the international Art Déco style that was produced by the Pforzheim manufactories and exported all over the world. Modern-minded goldsmiths also created jewellery that reflected local Expressionism. Some of them did so quite obviously, such as the artist-goldsmiths Josef Pöhlmann or Herbert Zeitner. Others showed this influence only very subtly. This pendant is one of the latter. It is designed in the typical elongated drop shape that enjoyed great popularity in the 1920s. Expressionist influences can only be seen in the details: For example, in the plant shapes, which on closer inspection turn out to be much more idiosyncratic than one is used to from Garland Style flowers, or in the jagged ornaments which alternate with round diamonds in the lower part. All of this is executed in platinum on gold, bathed in the light of a total of around 0.88 ct of diamonds. The pendant skillfully manages the balancing act between classic diamond jewellery for the evening and subtle reception of the contemporary avant-garde. An exciting and unusual piece whose true uniqueness only becomes apparent upon careful observation!
