With the invention of gaslight and later electric light at the end of the 19th century, Europe's ballrooms were suddenly filled with glistening brightness. Instead of the dark, yellowish candlelight, the halls now shone with the white glow of hundreds of lamps, making the ladies' jewellery shine and glitter more intensely than ever before. No wonder, then, that a new fashion emerged as a result of these developments: so-called "white jewels" - richly set with diamonds set in silver or platinum - became popular as they responded to the new lighting conditions and replaced the more colorful jewelry designs that had been popular until then. This bracelet is also dedicated to the elegant non-color white. It is completely in shades of white and shows us three different facets of what "white" can mean. A large, natural pearl shimmers in the middle of the bracelet, its creamy sheen with rose-colored overlay presenting the softest version of white. On either side of the pearl are 28 diamonds with a total weight of around two carats, whose eye-catching brilliance represents a cool, dazzling nuance of non-color. Finally, platinum, which has been placed over the actual yellow gold bracelet at the top, completes the white symphony with its metallic shine. The bracelet was created around 1910, at a time when evening jewels were becoming increasingly delicate and light, almost ethereal. At the same time, great importance was attached to the suppleness of the pieces of jewelry, which were softly adapted to the body by means of movable mountings. This bracelet also meets all these criteria: it is a piece of jewelry in the truest sense of the word, designed to flatter the body and showcase a beautiful wrist.
