Elegant Art Déco Pendant With Diamonds & Pearls in White Gold, Circa 1930s

Description

This pendant is a harmonious accord of whites: the cool sparkle of diamonds is combined with the silky luster of pearls and the metallic sheen of white gold. This type of white jewellery was the supreme discipline of jewellery in the early 20th century; in German, it was also known as "Weißjuwelen" or "Juwelenschmuck". Here, these precious materials have been worked into a pendant in the modern Art Deco style. A cool, graphic design meets exquisite details such as the curved lines that structure the white gold set with diamonds. The style of the pendant and the white gold, which was only patented in 1912, were highly modern around 1930 - except for one detail: many of the smaller diamonds were already cut in the 19th century according to their specific shape. As jewellery fashion changed rapidly with Art Deco, many ladies had the diamonds cut from their old heirlooms in order to quickly acquire a new jewellery wardrobe at a lower cost. This practice has been documented many times and was even praised by jewellers of the time. The piece of jewellery once had a dual function and could be converted into a brooch. Today, only the pendant loop has survived - along with a chain of the same finesse as the piece of jewellery itself, which was created around the same time.
