Description

An Art Nouveau pendant / brooch, hallmarked 56 zolotnik, the old Russian gold standard (14 carat), and with what we interpret as the initials 'И А' of Ivan Ado (1899-1908), chief assayer in Kazan. Made of gold and silver and set with two natural rubies with no visible signs of treatment (approx. 4 ct), twelve diamonds (approx. 0.36 ct) and 79 green demantoite garnets from the Urals (approx. 4.2 ct). In original case: Petrograd, N. Linden (Nikolai Linden, jeweler in Petersburg).

 

Russia, circa 1900

 

The Nikolai Linden jewelry company has a very interesting history and even collaborated with Fabergé. In 1892, Nikolai Linden established a workshop on Nevsky Prospect, St. Petersburg's main street, where he repaired jewelry and watches. Over time, the workshop also became a jewelry and watch shop, eventually becoming one of the most successful of its kind in St. Petersburg. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Linden was appointed as a supplier to various royal courts, including the Shah of Iran, the Russian Imperial House, and the kings of Montenegro, Bulgaria, and Romania.

Ik ben dol op de eigenaresse. Een zeer sterke en wijze vrouw. Het is een familiebedrijf en ze werkt er al 55 jaar. Ze lijkt in het begin misschien wat afstandelijk, maar ze is erg geduldig en vriendelijk. Ze laat je alles passen, maar dringt er nooit op aan om een beslissing te nemen. We bespraken hoe we mijn ring op maat konden maken; ze had een heel sterk en professioneel advies. Luister gewoon naar haar, je bent in goede handen. Ze hebben een erg mooie collectie en je kunt vertrouwen op hun ervaring.

I visited the shop in June 2022. I ended up buying a lovely 1970s emerald ring. She was able to resize it that same day! If I visit Amsterdam again, I will definitely stop by this store.

We love this shop. The owner couple is very charming, we bought a few things and I can tell you the prices are very good. They have many beautiful and unique pieces of jewellery and watches. We had a very pleasant shopping experience here. I recommend that you must browse the shop when you visit Amsterdam.

Perfect view of a beautiful piece of antique and always willing to provide an explanation. Never any pressure to buy; customer friendliness and knowledge at their best! By the way, I'm not related.
