Elegant Gold Necklace With Five Green Tourmalines, Hanau Circa 1935

Jewellery from the 1930s returned to the history of art more than the cool and modernist design language of the 1920s did. With the new decade, the jewellery became more voluminous, a lot of jewellery in yellow gold was created, and here and there the one or other reminiscence of the Biedermeier period was mixed in with modern forms. As a symbol of the "good old days", the shapes of so-called foam gold also came back into fashion. This necklace is a case in point: made from 14-karat gold, the piece consists of oval links with richly ornamented elements of voluminous knot shapes reminiscent of works from around 1840. Browse through our "Biedermeier" category in the "Epochs" tab and you will find several such examples. Five natural green tourmalines, so-called verdelites, in an octagonal scissor cut are set at regular intervals between the gold links and delight with their excellent purity and wonderful bottle-green colouration. According to the hallmark, the necklace was created around 1935 in the manufactory of Julius Sachsenweger in Hanau and shows the revived interest in the past in the 1930s. The necklace is very well preserved and came to us here in Berlin.
