All auctions / Jewelry & Gems / Delicate Antique Diamond Necklace in Platinum on Gold, c. 1920
White jewels, i.e. pieces of jewellery in white, celebrate light. The innovation of the electric light bulb at the end of the 19th century turned night into day. As a result, jewellery could now shine in the evening like never before. At the grand balls in Paris, London and St. Petersburg, ever more magnificent diamond necklaces were presented, as well as tiaras, brooches and rings, all dreams in white diamonds. At the beginning of the 20th century, when platinum and finally white gold found their way into the shop windows of jewelers, this white brilliance was complete and night became day. Here is a typical piece of jewellery from this period. An elongated pendant is firmly attached to a delicate platinum anchor chain. The main motif of the pendant design is a crystalline, luminous flower made up of five old-cut diamonds. Shadow gaps set them apart from the frame, making them appear to float. But even more diamonds sparkle on the pendulum: a total of eleven diamonds bathe it in their cool white light. To ensure that the pendulum rests softly and elegantly on the décolleté, it has a joint in the middle. The piece of jewellery is in very good condition. Judging by its manufacture and design, it was most likely created in Germany.
