SURPRISING BELLE ÉPOQUE PENDANT Pendant with Belle Époque openwork centre in 18k (750 thousandths) white gold and 14k (585 thousandths) white gold chain. This piece of jewellery is a little enigmatic in that it breaks away from the canons of the Belle Époque while following the most classic of bases. The setting is beautiful, fine and simple, refined by an extraordinary pearl finish. And in the middle of this plant-cut frieze of small diamonds, which is not surprising for this period, we find large old mine and old European diamonds that sparkle with a thousand fires. Each diamond is around 0.70 to 0.75 ct! And there are ten of them... So we're looking at a total of around 8.50 ct of diamonds in a pendant from a period known for its minimalism, lightness and discretion... This pendant is rare because it breaks the codes of its period of production while strictly respecting the standards. A brilliant paradox! Pendant diameter: 4.1 cm. Chain length: 72 cm. Gross weight: 24.4 g.
