Belle Époque to Art Deco platinum pendant with rose cut diamonds, ca. 1920

Circa 1920, a platinum pendant on necklace, poised between Belle Époque lightness and early Art Deco geometry. The openwork drop is centred by a pear shaped rose cut diamond, framed by further rose cut diamonds and senailles, with sapphire accents drawing the eye to the scroll like base. Topped with a natural pearl, it sits neatly at the collarbone, a small but assured jewel with the feel of something kept and quietly enjoyed.
