Description

When the world has lost all colors during a walk in winter, when only white and gray in all shades determine the landscape, here and there a greeting of life appears for the attentive eye. On the bushes along the path, the berries of autumn have survived, rowan berries or sloes perhaps, and even under their shell of ice remind us of the warm days of the past year. The colliert here unfolds a symphony in white. And reminds in its motif quite similar to the forces of nature and the course of the year. The basic shape is a rhombus, laid crosswise and slightly rounded. It forms a frame into which a branch of an icy, glittering plant projects. Eight berries have sprouted from it and shine in the cool light of large diamonds. The motif of the plant is also taken up by the frame. At the bottom left, the goldsmith has indicated a leaf. And its dynamic form continues in the pendulum-like element at the bottom edge, which merges into another large old-cut diamond. The jewelry was created in the years around 1905 and its elegant forms show the influence of Art Nouveau. We often associate the works of the great artists of that era, such as Fouquet, Gaillard or Lalique, more with designs in warmly glowing yellow gold, often set with colored gemstones and luminous enamel. However, the necklace pendant proves that diamond jewels were also created shortly after the turn of the century, completely committed to the turn-of-the-century ideal of white jewels. In addition, the pendant sets the diamonds of a total of about 3.56 ct in platinum. Together with a fine chain also made of this white luminous material, the design thus enchants in an elegant monochrome. For this piece of jewellery, we had an independent expert opinion prepared by the German Society for Gemstone Evaluation. It has confirmed the quality of the materials and is enclosed with the necklace.
