Description

A royal blue sapphire shines in the center of a wreath of diamond flowers and butterfly-like spirals of gold. A frame of the finest gold spirals and granulations, studded with further diamonds, unfolds around this central motif. A crown of gold turns the arrangement into a pendant. The opulent, detailed design language is typical of German historicism of the 1880s. At the same time, however, the pendant is of a much higher quality than most objects in this style: the gold work is heavy, the sapphire is radiant blue and the diamonds are brilliant and clear. The finely crafted piece was originally a brooch. At a later date, it was reworked into a pendant by adding the unusual loop in the shape of a ducal crown. This was originally not a loop, but probably part of a pin or other piece of jewellery given as a gift to a dignitary of a ducal court. Now it literally ennobles the pendant. We discovered the unusual piece of jewellery as it is in Berlin.
