Elegant Diamond Pendant in Silver on Gold, c. 1885 & later

Description

With the discovery of diamond deposits in South Africa in 1869, diamonds became available in large quantities for the first time in history. As a logical consequence, jewellery made entirely of diamonds became the focus of jewelry designers. As early as the 1880s, it was also considered good manners for middle-class ladies to wear diamonds to certain events: elegant dinners, for example, or to the opera. The "Belle Époque", the beautiful era, was an era of diamonds. This piece of jewellery was also created during this period, as evidenced by its workmanship and design. In total, it contains just over one carat of diamonds. Three large, old-cut white diamonds sparkle in the center of the jewel. They are surrounded by elegant tendrils set with sparkling diamond roses. Typical of the time, the piece is crafted in silver on gold. The elegant piece was not always a pendant, but appears to have originally been part of a larger piece of jewellery, possibly a necklace. However, it was reworked into a pendant in earlier times. In keeping with the warm gold color of gold, we have also selected the delicate red gold chain that completes the pendant. So even if the piece appears a little more minimalistic today than when it was created, it is perhaps all the more wearable - a small talisman that still exudes some of the beauty and elegance of the Belle Époque in our time.
