A firmly mounted pendant with a silver display side sparkles in the middle of a reddish gold chain. A large dark blue drop-cut sapphire weighing around 2.50 ct is set in a frame of rose-cut diamonds. Above the elegant drop, small laurel leaves are set with further diamonds and placed in pairs on a bar. This swings on an old-cut carré-set diamond and completes the fine necklace in the so-called "Garland style". The years around 1900 brought a formal language to the world of jewellery with the "garland style", which contrasted the Art Nouveau style with a more classic, finer style. Borrowings from Louis XVI forms and fine motifs from classical antiquity enlivened a neoclassicism that valued small, delicate laurel tendrils as much as meticulous festoons and embellishments with tiny millegrains. Jewelry in this style is almost always characterized by a precision of execution that matches the delicacy of the designs. The precious stones are always set in the finest settings with a master's hand; delicate movable pendulums and the most delicate millegrains still delight the connoisseur's eye today. We found this pretty necklace with its beautiful midnight blue sapphire here in Berlin.
