A natural, medium blue, scissor-cut aquamarine weighing around 12.5 carats is the centerpiece of this pendant. An agraffe of natural pearls set in gold leads from the oval of the blue gemstone to a simple loop. The setting of the aquamarine is visually restrained at the front and surprises when viewed from the side, as its structure is made up of countless, closely spaced openings that appear light and airy. The special radiance of aquamarine is the subject of numerous legends from classical antiquity: according to tradition, the gemstone is said to be able to appease the god of the sea, Poseidon. Desperate sailors are said to have once thrown aquamarine overboard their ships during raging storms to soothe the sea god's anger. The combination of natural pearls and an aquamarine, which is named after the water of the sea, seems almost poetic, so well do these two gems go together. We discovered the pendant here in Berlin. Judging by its hallmark, it was most likely made in Germany, probably around 1910. It came to us with an old chain made of doublé, a historical type of gilding. This is a free addition and can of course be omitted or replaced.
