Elegant Art Deco Platinum Necklace with Diamonds & Pearl, c. 1930

This necklace, made entirely of precious platinum, sets countless diamonds and a large gray pearl to form a domed shield. Old-cut diamonds are arranged around the pearl. Further diamonds form the transition to the delicate necklace, which is also made from platinum. Jewelry with large, round pendants, so-called "plaques", was first very fashionable around 1910. In Art Déco, more angular and elongated shapes were in vogue until around 1930, when round shapes began to make their way back into jewelers' displays. At the same time, the overall shapes often became somewhat stronger, making shields like this one a popular motif. In the workshops of Theodor Fahrner, for example, numerous designs were created that often borrowed from Germanic or Celtic forms, giving the shield motif an almost defensive double meaning. The necklace is set with more than 2.20 ct of diamonds in platinum. The pearl in the center is an early saltwater cultured pearl, probably from Japan, as this was the only place in the world where the first cultured pearls were created at that time. We have added a new platinum chain to the elegant necklace. We discovered this unusual piece in Hamburg.
