"One still can't close a fashion report without talking of the pendant, which in any case has remained the companion of the society toilette, the décolletéd dress. Its type at the moment seems to be that of a flat, openwork plaque, fine and simple in outline." - So reported the German magazine "Schmuck und Mode" in February 1909. These large, round pendants for society gowns - i.e. for the evening, such as for receptions or dinners - were produced in numerous variations. This pendant corresponds to this type and looks like a flower whose leaves form the frame. An ethereally delicate weave of fine platinum bars fills this shape with geometric patterns. Rose diamonds and pearls set accents. A large, strikingly brilliant old-cut diamond with a delicate yellowish hue shines in the center. This hue, as well as the cushion-shaped cut and the proportions of the diamond, lead us to assume that it comes from an older piece, which was common practice at the time. The shape, workmanship and material allow us to date the pendant to around 1910. The antique, long chain is also special. Its length suggests that it dates from the same period, as long necklaces were worn with the dresses of the more flowing, sometimes even uncorsetted new fashion that became popular at the turn of the century.
