Description

This elegant pendant with its platinum chain is bathed in cool white. It forms a multi-part pendulum that begins at a diamond-set agraffe and continues via three individually set diamonds to a small leaf motif, from which a larger, sparkling diamond hangs in a double shadow gap. The gold pendant is set with platinum on the front. Jewellery in elegant and luxurious white has been the dream of jewellery designers since the late 19th century. However, technical possibilities put a stop to this idea for some time. Diamonds were available, but the tricky part was finding the right metal. At first, only silver was available to create white jewellery, but the metal tarnishes and can leave discoloration on skin and clothing. It was not until the turn of the century that platinum was increasingly used, but it was difficult to work with and the metal was much more expensive than gold. This precious metal was used here to make the front of the pendant shine in that desirable white. The rich setting of diamonds in various historical cuts complements and perfects the precious impression even further. The highlight of the design, the fiery solitaire at the bottom of the pendant, is a true celebration of white light. In total, we estimate the sparkling setting to weigh approx. 0.30 ct. This type of pendant was extremely popular in the countries of Central Europe in the first decades after 1900 and was repeatedly recreated in numerous variations. This pendant was created in Germany. We discovered it in Düsseldorf and added a new platinum chain.
