Imperial jewels, diamonds weighing dozens of carats and shimmering natural pearls lie behind steel and glass in museums today, as silent witnesses to a bygone era. But it was not these jewels that once shaped the image of eras far removed from us today: it was the smaller, wearable, but no less artistically crafted pieces of jewellery. The kind that might have been given to a young mother, worn by a debutante to her first ball or saved up for for a long time in order to eventually adore her beloved. But it is precisely these pieces that you rarely get to admire in museums to get an impression of the jewellery of an era. In 1904, the Deutsche Goldschmiede-Zeitung wisely asked: "Where else but in private ownership are the living witnesses of the beauty of our time and its aspirations to be kept and preserved?" (DGZ, 1904, p. 154). One such living witness, as if fallen out of time, is the necklace presented here. A drop pierced with fine sawing work and a border of sweeping arabesques bears an old-cut diamond in the center. It is mounted under an agraffe ornament with small diamond roses, which leads to the narrow chain. The necklace was created in the wild 1920s, as evidenced by its design and workmanship. It is finely and delicately crafted and at the same time precious, yet discreet enough in size to not only be a collector's item, but also to remain wearable. This necklace found its way to us from Hamburg.
