Description

This pendant takes us into the heart of the Belle Époque. This "beautiful era" of the years around 1900 saw a previously unknown level of luxury and wealth. The most beautiful dancers in the world danced at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, the most amorous couples in society met on the Ringstrasse in Vienna and the gowns and diamonds of the ladies shone in the elegant hotels on Unter den Linden in Berlin. The jewellery of the time shone in bright white thanks to the newly discovered possibilities of platinum. The shapes became lighter and lighter, more delicate, even ethereal. Narrow sawn shadow gaps, the most delicate millegrains - all this became the trademark of the goldsmiths of those years. Due to the artistic surface treatment, the pieces of jewelry seemed to consist entirely of light and shadow. This pendant, a large work surrounding a dazzling opal from Australia, was created as a nod to the jewellery of the Belle Époque. We see small leaves and elegant curves, all richly set with sparkling diamonds. The finest bars of reddish gold form a net that lies beneath the ornaments and connects them. A shining white eylet, also set with diamonds, gives the pendant a beautiful movement. We discovered the pendant here in Berlin. It was probably created only a few years ago based on a historical model. We have fitted it with a new, unworn platinum chain. So it can be worn straight away.
