French romantic period diamond pendant from the first half of the 19th century

This pendant comes from the Romantic period in France from 1830 to 1850. It is made of 18k gold and set with a rose-cut diamond. As a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, Romanticism advocated nature and paid attention to personal emotions and senses. Compared with the streamlined style inspired by nature during the Art Nouveau period, Romanticism's pursuit of nature was not only reflected in the organic form design but also in the selection of materials. Used materials, such as animal horns, shells, turtle shells, animal bones, and corals, were one of the characteristics of jewelry materials during this period. The design style of the works mostly uses soft arcs like curly lines of fern leaves, with shell decorative totems underneath. The texture of the base is also flowing and asymmetrical, showing the natural and organic style of this period. Another highlight of the pendant is the rose-cut diamond set in the center. The facets of this cut are all triangular. Each facet is like a petal, and the faces are connected to form a rosebud-like layer. From the side When viewed, it looks like a tall and three-dimensional church spire. This cutting method is to retain the maximum weight of the diamond, rather than the maximum degree of refraction pursued today. Therefore, it shows a low-key beauty that is not too sparkling, and retains the antique charm of hand-cut. The overall state of the work is well preserved, with normal signs of oxidation and wear. Some areas are more obvious, indicating that it is a century-old antique and is not in new condition.
