About the Item
An elegant pair of Art Deco platinum and diamond drop earrings.
Each earring has a floral-inspired top section accented with smaller round diamonds. Below it hangs an open tear-drop shaped halo with a cushion cut diamond, framed by graduating Old European diamonds.
The earrings display a combination of geometric and nature motifs that are hallmarks of Art Deco jewelry. Floral elements of the era moved away from the organic shapes of the Art Nouveau period. Instead, they became more structured, with clear lines and symmetrical layouts. In these earrings, the floral top shows this stylistic change, combining natural motifs with the geometric precision that defines Art Deco jewelry.
This gorgeous pair of diamond drop earrings is an impressive example of 1920s jewelry design, that combines symmetry with detailed craftsmanship.
The earrings are made of platinum and diamonds. The diamonds are Old European and old cushion cuts, two largest cushion cut diamonds are N-O color, VS2 clarity weighing 2.18 carats, total diamond weight is approximately 12.0 carats.
The earrings measure 1 3/8" x 5/8" (3.5 x 1.5 cm) and weigh 20.1 grams.
About Art Deco Jewelry:
Art Deco, an influential design style, emerged in the early 20th century, reaching its peak during the Jazz Age, in the 1920-1930s. Since then, Art Deco jewelry has remained highly appreciated for its strong geometric shapes, undeniable elegance, and chic.
The jewelry from this period reflects cultural changes of the time, mirroring the exuberance of the Roaring Twenties. For instance, square, triangular, and trapezoidal cuts were favored, reflecting a departure from the organic motifs of previous design eras. Art Deco jewelers embraced new materials and techniques Platinum, being the most popular metal during the Art Deco era, also contributed to the period jewelry popularity. At that time the Merensky-Reef, the world’s largest platinum deposit, was discovered in South Africa. The metal’s characteristics allowed it to create delicate yet durable designs.
The emphasis on symmetry and precision in Art Deco design reflected the influence of the machine age. Jewelry pieces were often precisely crafted, featuring symmetrical arrangements. Art Deco jewelry design often incorporated functional elements. Pieces frequently doubled as practical accessories, such as watches integrated into bracelets or brooches.
The Art Deco movement drew inspiration from various cultures, including ancient Egyptian, Asian, and African motifs. These influences are apparent in the use of symbols and patterns that add an eclectic flair to the jewelry.
Vintage Art Deco engagement rings are always in high demand. They have a perfectly balanced geometry and often feature Old European and cushion cut diamonds. Black and white combos, such as diamond and black onyx, or black enamel create a dramatic effect.
