Unusual Expressionist Pendant with Diamonds and Pearls in Gold, c. 1930s

The type of so-called "vegetable" jewellery emerged during the Art Deco period in Germany and probably developed from Art Nouveau designs in southern Germany and Austria, such as those by Josef Hoffmann for the Wiener Werkstätten, which often featured golden leaves and tendrils. This type of jewellery was later given its name because of the vegetal decoration, with pearls and gemstones emerging from the foliage like ripe fruit. This motif also characterizes the present pendant, which we discovered here in Berlin. Precious diamonds and rosy pearls sprout from expressive leaves. The small, all hand-cut elements and spheres, which also enrich the surface pattern, have each been individually applied to the piece. As a reward for the great effort, the pendant has a fascinating surface shape that catches the light and plays with shadows and reflections. These "vegetable" pieces are usually found in the form of rings; rarer are pendants such as this handcrafted piece, which we date no earlier than the mid-1930s due to the use of cultured pearls, although the diamonds are certainly set in a second use. We have added a fine gold chain to the pendant, which is fine in detail but quite present in format.
