Stunning Belle Époque pendant set with a rare large natural oriental pearl and diamonds, crafted from platinum and gold 585 / 14 ct (tested, chain stamped 750 / 18 ct, both guaranteed).
This beautiful pendant is very much in the style of the 1900s, when people turned away from the often exuberant designs of historicism and sought new lightness in airy, delicate, filigree and floral designs. Bows, garlands, delicate flowers and foliage were popular stylistic elements of the Belle Époque, which also went down in history as the "garland style".
This pendant embodies the aforementioned preferences in a distinctive drop shape, the centre of which is adorned with a pendulum crowned with a bow. The centrepiece of the design is a natural pearl - also known as an oriental pearl - of outstanding size. The pearl impresses with its uniformly round shape and beautiful iridescent white lustre. The pendulum, frame and loop motif of the historical pendant are decorated with a total of 47 diamonds in early octagonal and old cuts. The diamonds have a total stone weight of ca. 0.8 carats and are in the beautiful quality range (I-J, SI1-SI2).
While the pendant itself is made of 585 gold and platinum, the restrained chain in a Venetian pattern, which was added later, is made of 750 / 18-carat white gold (stamped and guaranteed). The chain is securely fastened with a spring ring.
The charming antique pendant was created around 1906 and comes from an old family in Munich. It is a highly elegant companion for special occasions and the large natural pearl makes it a truly exclusive and unique piece. Natural pearls are particularly sought after due to their rarity and beauty and can be extremely expensive. They are created without human intervention and are always unique!
