In the early 20th century, a new form of necklace quickly conquered Europe. Younger women in particular, who kept up with the more avant-garde changes in fashion, liked to adorn themselves with it: We are talking about the so-called "lavallière", also known as the negligee necklace. Two pendulums of different lengths are attached to a decorative element and form the showpiece of the necklace. This piece is a beautiful example of this fashion. An elongated, transverse oval forms the starting point of the design. It sets three small old- and rose-cut diamonds. Two pendulums of slightly different lengths are attached to this starting point. They end again in circular shapes, each showing a beautiful old-cut diamond in a surrounding shadow gap. The decorative element of the necklace with the diamonds is made of yellow gold and has a platinum display side. This was the usual technique used at the beginning of the 20th century to create shining white jewels. The renewed chain of the necklace, however, is made entirely of light white gold. We discovered the wonderfully preserved necklace in Baden.
