In the years around 1900, the curved, natural forms of Art Nouveau were primarily associated with artistic natures, with the bohemians of the time. In short, those who wore eye-catching Art Nouveau creations tended to be more daring. In aristocratic circles and among the wealthy bourgeoisie of the time in particular, however, fashion developed towards more classic, timeless forms. For high-quality diamond jewellery, the calm and symmetrical forms of neoclassicism were the main inspiration, and particularly suitable for the evening. This pendant also reflects this taste. It is designed in a diamond shape, but completely open-worked, giving it a wonderful lightness. The finest platinum bars and millegrains enclose sparkling diamonds. The entire metal surface is set with diamonds, making the piece sparkle with every movement. The solid platinum version was considered particularly luxurious, as the precious metal was many times more expensive than gold at the time. An additional screw thread on the back proves that the piece was once designed as a pendant brooch. Unfortunately, the accompanying pin has been lost. What has survived, however, is a fine, contemporary chain with a box clasp that perfectly matches the pendant. We were able to discover this well-preserved piece, which was probably made in Germany, in Hamburg.
