The turn of the century saw the pioneering use of platinum, especially for settings. This metal made it possible to create intricate details that previously were not possible. The delicate nature of this filigree became known as platinum lace. The exquisite openwork combined with the silvery tones of diamonds created a new whimsical look that was highly sought after. This pendant is a fine example of the early use of platinum and displays a high level of skill and craftsmanship.
