This pendant is a harmonious chord in white: the cool sparkle of diamonds is combined with the silky luster of a pearl and the metallic shine of white gold. This type of white jewelry was the supreme discipline of jewellery in the early 20th century; in German, it was also known as "Weißjuwelen" or "Juwelenschmuck". Here, these precious materials have been worked into a piece of jewelry in the modern Art Deco style. A cool, graphic and compact design meets exquisite details such as the sawn arabesques that structure the white gold set with diamonds. The two large, sparkling diamonds frame a blister pearl, whose very delicate baroque shape forms a subtle counterpoint to the man-made perfection of the metalwork. Blister pearls are naturally formed pearls that we regularly find in antique jewelry: not only were full-round pearls used that grew freely in the muscle tissue of the shells, but also those that were firmly attached to the shell. Such pearls are formed when predators of the mussel try to penetrate the mussel shell in order to reach the mussel meat. The defensive mussel seals the pierced shell with mother-of-pearl, which also creates pearls, but these are firmly attached to the mussel shell. This beautiful piece of jewelry began its life as the precious clasp of a bracelet or a pearl necklace. Later on, it was transformed into a pendant and a matching chain was added: today it can take center stage, as befits its beauty, preciousness and fine workmanship.
