Elegant Art Deco Necklace with Diamonds in Gold and Silver, c. 1930

The heyday of Art Deco coincided with a turbulent era full of contradictions. Following the catastrophe of World War I and the chaos of inflation, a period of economic recovery did not begin until the late 1920s. An optimistic belief in progress and a zest for life became increasingly important. The jewellery of that era broke away from historical models and continues to fascinate to this day with its astonishing modernity, elegance, and the unmatched perfection of its craftsmanship. This necklace perfectly embodies the qualities of that era. Set on a white gold chain, it features a securely attached teardrop-shaped pendant. The gold body of the piece of jewellery is enhanced by a front panel of silver-infused platinum. At its center, a freely suspended flower made of sparkling diamonds shimmers. A beautiful quarter-carat diamond in a transitional cut forms its centerpiece within a frame of smaller diamonds. Surrounding this center are floral openwork designs and delicate milgrain structures, which, together with additional diamonds, refract the light and create a subtle interplay of light and shadow. The design of the piece of jewellery speaks the language of Central European Art Deco. We date this well-preserved piece of jewellery to around 1930.
