Precious Pendant Brooch with 2.70 ct Diamonds in Silver on Gold, c. 1910

"You still can't close a fashion report without talking about the pendant, which in any case has remained the companion of the society toilet, the cut-out dress. Its type at the moment seems to be that of a flat, openwork plaque, fine and simple in outline." - So reported the German magazine Schmuck und Mode in February 1909. We also have such a piece of jewelry here. The round pendant with a quatrefoil contour is a representative of the so-called "plaque" type and fills its frame with fine openwork accentuated with a total of 2.70 ct of sparkling diamonds. An elegantly abstract flower shines in the center of the pendant, the pistil of which is formed by an old-cut diamond weighing around 0.30 ct. This artistic piece of jewelry is crafted in silver on gold, allowing the diamonds in the silver to shine brightly and unclouded. So that fashionable ladies of the upper classes could wear pieces like this more often without always appearing to be dressed and adorned in the same way in society, they often had a dual function. This is also the case here: the luxurious piece has a brooch pin and a pendant loop and can therefore be worn in two different ways. The Austrian-Hungarian import mark for Pest (Budapest), which was in use from 1902 to 1922, has been preserved on the pendant loop. We have commissioned an independent appraisal of this fine piece of jewelry, which is included in the delivery.
