Black, Starr & Frost Edwardian Platinum Pearl & Diamond Pendant Watch

An exquisite Edwardian pendant watch by Black, Starr & Frost, crafted in platinum and adorned with diamonds and a luminous natural pearl — a masterpiece of early American luxury.

This extraordinary Edwardian pendant watch by Black, Starr & Frost represents the height of American fine jewelry and horological craftsmanship in the early 20th century. Renowned as one of the most prestigious luxury jewelers of its era, Black, Starr & Frost supplied elite clientele with jewels and timepieces that rivaled the finest European houses.

Crafted in solid platinum, the pendant is centered by a softly glowing natural pearl, framed by an elegant halo of old-cut diamonds arranged in a refined floral and geometric motif. The platinum construction allows the diamonds to appear exceptionally bright, a hallmark of Edwardian-era design, when the metal was first adopted for its strength and brilliance-enhancing properties.

The pendant is suspended from an intricately detailed diamond-set chain, featuring hand-worked openwork links that reflect the light with graceful movement. Each segment of the chain is carefully articulated, creating a necklace that is both visually delicate and structurally sophisticated — a signature of high Edwardian jewelry.

More than a timepiece, this jewel was designed as a wearable work of art, intended to be worn as a necklace while discreetly concealing a finely made watch within. Such pieces were favored by fashionable women who sought elegance, practicality, and luxury in a single creation.
