Necklaces that set another gemstone under a gemstone on a pendulum are also known as ‘Edna May’ necklaces. The name goes back to an American singer and actress who appeared in numerous stage productions and early films between the 1890s and 1910s: she is said to have been particularly fond of wearing this type of necklace. At that time, pictures of popular stage stars circulated in postcard form, and Edna was also a well-known postcard beauty, meaning that many people were familiar with her taste and style. One such ‘Edna May’ necklace is presented here, and in a particularly precious setting. It begins with three diamonds in individual carreau settings connected by fine bars. The long pendulum, which is also set with small diamonds, is attached to these. Another old-cut diamond then leads to the highlight of the design: A marvellous one-carat solitaire diamond floats within a platinum ring. The setting of the large diamond is shaped like a six-pointed star, making the stone sparkle like a celestial body in the firmament. The bright, luminous appearance of the necklace is further emphasised by the fact that all visible parts are not only made of white gold, but are also platinum-plated: This makes the necklace appear white and ethereal. A fine white gold chain turns the elegant structure into a necklace. This glamorous piece of jewellery is in very good condition. Its simple, timeless shape, the transitional cut of some of the diamonds and the use of platinum on white gold allow us to date it to around 1920. We found the piece of jewellery here in Berlin. It comes with a detailed certificate from Idar-Oberstein, which describes and confirms the quality of all the materials.
