In August every year, Baroness von Üchtlitz celebrated her birthday at Schlochtin with a summer party. Next to the castle, on the large meadow, stood a grove of lime trees, ‘where the tea was to be taken. The meadow and the grove were full of people, full of colourful dresses, colourful ribbons, colourful hats, and in the green of the grove, in the gold of the afternoon sun, all the colours took on a gemstone sheen.’ The two young princesses of Neustatt-Birkenstein drove up in the Landau. They wore ‘blue summer dresses, coral strings around their necks’. In his last great novel, the ‘Princesses’ from 1917, Eduard von Keyserling once again revived all the splendour and glamour of the nobility in the old empire - but the end of the familiar order already shines through with every ray of sunshine. Here, at the baroness's summer party, it is quite natural to wear coral necklaces. After all, these jewels of the sea were very much summer jewellery at the turn of the century. This necklace in three rows is exactly the kind of jewellery that the princesses of Neustatt-Birkenstein might have worn. It was created in Italy around 1900 and presents its rich salmon-coloured, high-quality corals in a row according to size. A pretty original clasp made of gold-plated tombac holds the necklace securely in place. The necklace came to us from Nuremberg and impresses with its wonderful quality. Quote from Eduard von Keyserling: Fürstinnen. Roman. Nachwort von Jens Malte Fischer, Zürich: Manesse 2017, pp. 62–63.
