Description

Knots, bows and intertwined ribbons are one of the oldest motifs in the history of jewellery. Their meaning is as simple as it is romantic: the bond between two people, between the giver and the recipient, should be as indissoluble as the knot. Bracelets with this motif were already created in Greek times, a wonderful example can be found in the British Museum, see here. We also encounter them in the Middle Ages, see here. Each era shaped the motif according to its own taste. However, the basic idea remained the same throughout the millennia. This piece of jewelry from the first years after 1900 shows how the solidarity motif could look in the light, cheerful taste of the Belle Époque: Here, brightly shining diamonds form a white band, at the ends of which two Burmese rubies glow in the color of love. The diamonds are set in silver, while the back of the piece is made of rose gold. It is particularly beautiful that the pendulums, which have many joints, flow down very softly. The piece has a special feature: Because you can wear it as a brooch and also as a pendant. The pin can be unscrewed and two bows on the upper edge allow the piece to be attached to a fine chain as a pendant. We discovered the pendant brooch in Frankfurt am Main. It is in very good condition. An independent appraisal has confirmed the quality of the materials and will be delivered with the piece.

Precious gemstones are a very special joy. Their colors shine in the light, their brilliance captivates the eye, and looking at them and holding them in your hand is an almost childlike joy. Anyone who also knows that they were created thousands, sometimes millions of years ago by the forces of nature alone, without any human intervention, indeed without even a thought that they might one day bring joy to a person - their amazement at these treasures becomes even greater.
