Jewelry in elegant, cool and luxurious white - that has been the dream of jewelry designers since the late 19th century. However, technical possibilities put a stop to this dream for some time. Diamonds were available, but the tricky part was finding the right metal. Initially, only silver was available to create white jewellery, but the metal tarnishes and can leave discoloration on skin and clothing. From around 1900, platinum was used more and more frequently, but it was difficult to work with and the metal was much more expensive than gold, so platinum was usually only used on the front of the pieces. The delicate necklace presented here uses precisely this technique. A platinum display side is applied to a yellow gold body. A small arch motif, set with old-cut diamonds, forms the prelude and the link to the delicate chain. A pendant bar is attached to this, covered with polished platinum, and a drop shape with old-cut and rose-cut diamonds, elegantly framed by a shadow gap. This type of necklace was extremely popular in the countries of Central Europe in the first decades around 1910 and was repeatedly recreated in numerous variations. This necklace was probably created in Germany. We discovered it here in Berlin.
