The pendant here takes you to a warm summer night, to a summer in Portugal, near the ocean. It's warm, yet not too oppressive, and twinkling stars populate a beckoning sky, stretched wide open over a rich landscape full of history. Crickets chirp, a scent of juniper and pine lingers in the air. The pendant is made of high karat gold, which shines warm and precious. In its center we see an oval, enameled in black, made of gold showing a crown, flowers and a butterfly. A wreath of turquoise-blue glass pastes frames the center panel, while a wide frame with delicate leaf engravings finishes the design on the outside. The pendant was made in Portugal. Its hallmarks reveal that it was created in the years after 1938, as a romantic reference to the past. The shapes of the past became a new fashion in the middle of the 20th century. We know numerous pieces of jewelry from Portugal or even Italy designed in this spirit. It is reminiscent of jewellery of Biedermeier as well as historicism, but combines the individual elements into something quite unique and new.
