Adin Fine Antique Jewellery Information: Style Guirlande

‍The Belle Époque Style, also known as 'Style Guirlande' (French) or in plain English: 'Garland Style', epitomises delicacy and elegance. This era favoured white metals and white stones shaped into garland designs. Motifs of ribbons and bows, leaves and flowers predominated in symmetrical curvy openwork shapes, inspired by Renaissance garland paintings and the frothiness of 18th-century Rococo patterns.

As a truly extraordinary example from its era, this antique platinum pendant glistens with 76 diamonds encrusted in the joyfully arranged leaves. From the upper triple diamond top, two leaflets sprout downwards through both nooses of the central bow, from which two ribbons drape over the two twigs. The bow’s heart suspends a dangling old European cut diamond, which guides your gaze to two arching garland branches. At the point where they meet, another old European cut diamond sways from a pair of leaflets. This charming scene sweeps anyone to moments of merriment and bliss.
