Jewels in elegant, cool and luxurious white - that was the dream of jewellery designers since the late 19th century. However, technical possibilities put a stop to this dream for some time. Diamonds were available, but the tricky question 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. Platinum was therefore increasingly used from around 1900 onwards, but it was difficult to work with and the metal was still much more expensive than gold, so platinum was usually only used on the front of the pieces. This delicate necklace, on the other hand, is made of solid platinum; both the firmly mounted pendant with its rich diamond setting and the chain, which we have renewed, are made of this fine material. The delicate anchor chain holds a movable pendulum in the middle, which holds six diamonds in delicate bezel settings. The stones are arranged in a graduated pattern and diminish in size towards the bottom. A large diamond in a prong setting weighing around 0.85 carats and a beautiful white color forms the brilliant finale of the sparkling pendulum. A so-called illusion setting makes it look even bigger! A total of approx. 1.15 ct of old-cut diamonds have been set. This type of necklace was extremely popular in the countries of Central Europe in the first decades after 1900 and was repeatedly recreated in numerous variations. This necklace came to us here in Berlin.
