"Cool elegance" - this motto seems to have inspired the jewelry designers of the Art Deco era. A glance at the catalogs and fashion magazines of the time reveals a preference for crystalline clarity: jewelry made of platinum and diamonds, often in geometrically elongated shapes, dominated the designs of pendants, brooches and earrings. The clear, light blue aquamarine in the center of the pendant presented here fits perfectly into this sense of style. The stone is cut in the classic emerald cut - a step cut with an octagonal outline - which impressively accentuates the water-blue color of the gemstone. Aquamarines were among the most sought-after gemstones of Art Deco. Their cool radiance harmonized perfectly with the then popular fashion for white gold, platinum and diamonds. At the same time, they unfold a remarkable brilliance in electric light, making them ideal companions for an era that was characterized by artificial light like no other before it. In this piece of jewelry, the aquamarine is set in white gold, which underlines its color and elegance. A diamond-set decorative element lends the design additional finesse, while the movable loop that leads to the chain gently adapts the pendant to the wearer's every movement. A fine white gold chain rounds off the ensemble. We discovered this exquisite pendant in Cologne. An independent appraisal has confirmed the outstanding quality of the materials. It is enclosed with the piece of jewelry.

The ability to glow in the light of electricity is mentioned several times in the literature of the time: "Aquamarine and other bright varieties of beryl are stones which lose none of their brilliance at night," wrote Arthur Herbert Church in 1913, and "All beryls are very brilliant in artificial light and therefore desirable stones for the evening," added Helen Bartlett Bridgman in 1915.
