The bold forms of Art Nouveau, which originated in France, began their triumphal march around the world in the years before 1900. In each European country, the new style was interpreted in a different way. In Germany, for example, a preference for geometric elements developed, which became increasingly distinctive in the early 20th century. This pendant, made from gold, pearls and a small, untreated Burma ruby, is a beautiful example of this. It is designed as a pendulum swinging out to the sides, with a wide frame of matt gold surrounding an elegant, delicate filling of twisted wires and attached gemstones. The design plays beautifully with surfaces and lines, light and shadow. Its characteristic design and the gold hallmark on the back indicate that it was made in Germany. In terms of style and fine craftsmanship, the piece can be dated to around 1905. The abstract, filigree gold spirals are reminiscent of the backgrounds of the paintings that Gustav Klimt created at the same time during his famous "golden phase". We were able to discover this piece here in Berlin and have added a modern gold chain that harmoniously complements the historical design.
