The years around 1900 brought a formal language to the world of jewellery with the so-called "Garland Style", which contrasted Art Nouveau with a more classical, refined style. Borrowings from Louis XVI forms and fine motifs from classical antiquity enlivened a neoclassicism that valued small, delicate laurel tendrils as much as meticulous festoons and embellishments with tiny millegrains. This piece of jewellery also demonstrates this elegant style. Symmetrically arranged laurel garlands and platinum bars are applied to a reddish gold frame. They are grouped around a central old-cut diamond and are themselves set with tiny rose diamonds that sparkle against the white precious metal. However, the piece was only reworked into a pendant in more recent times. It was probably originally a brooch or a so-called "plaque de cou": a type of pendant that was attached to a silk or velvet ribbon worn close to the neck. We discovered this beautiful piece as a pendant and added a delicate gold chain to it.
