Did you know that the pearl was once associated with Venus, the goddess of love? Because just as the pearl springs from the shell, the goddess is also said to have been born from a shell, "foam-born". The most famous depiction of this scene comes from the Renaissance: it is Sandro Botticelli's painting of the birth of Venus. This bracelet almost seems to be a reference to this, as the ornament on its clasp is reminiscent of a foaming wave. The cool white gold is set with a small brilliant-cut diamond as a foaming spray. Two strands of fine Akoya pearls make up the actual bracelet. These are large, full-round cultured pearls of beautiful quality, with a slightly warm base colour and a shimmering rose-coloured lustre. Bracelets like this one were popular in the second half of the 20th century. The design of the clasp with the partially matt white gold allows us to date it to around 1990. On the back of this clasp we find the company logo of J. Köhle. This traditional company was founded in Pforzheim in 1872 and still exists today. The company is known for its high-quality clasps, which are primarily used for pearl jewellery. The bracelet is in very good condition.
