After World War I, Art Deco was the design style that captured worldwide audiences by storm. In the United States, the idiosyncratic design elements of this style not only found expression in architecture but also in jewelry design. The affinities for simple lines, platinum and geometric shapes are so distinct that it is very easy even for a novice to recognize the Art Deco designs. Peter Suchy has a vast inventory of striking Art Deco jewelry pieces that make the perfect holiday gift this year.
Platinum Pendant with Emerald-Cut Diamond
We date this piece to the 1920s. The platinum setting supports a shield-cut diamond that weighs .69cts. A second diamond features an emerald cut and weighs .47cts. The platinum chain measures 16 inches in length. Wear this piece against a solid or multi-colored top.
Pink Gold Diamond Buckle Earrings
The lines of the buckles are simple and refined, which is in keeping with the archetypal Art Deco design precepts. The setting material features 14k pink gold. Dating back to about 1945, there are six round full-cut diamonds that weigh .06cts. These earrings are made for pierced ears.
Diamond and Black Onyx Clip Post Earrings
If you do not have pierced ears, then these clip post earrings are for you. The setting features 14k solid white gold. Two 7mm onyx beads create the centers for the stylized flowers that are in keeping with late Art Deco design elements. A total of 24 single-cut diamonds weigh .24cts and serve as adornment for the petal tips.
Platinum Pin with Old-European-Cut Diamonds
Featuring the favored platinum of the era, the stem of the pin as well as the catch is actually made of white gold. We date this pin to the 1920s. The focal point is an old-European-cut diamond weighing 1.25cts. Accentuating the beauty of the setting material and the sparkle of the main gemstone are 44 old-European-cut diamonds weighing a total of 2.50cts. This item measures 1 1/8 inches by 2.5 inches. Wear it at the neck lengthwise or vertically.
Tourmaline Dangle Earrings in Platinum Settings
Made for pierced ears, these earrings feature platinum as the setting material. Two pear-shaped elongated tourmalines display a gorgeous green color. They weigh about 8.19cts. Providing sparkle and a visual counterpoint, there are two brilliant-cut diamonds weighing .14cts. To further accentuate the different design elements, 18 single-cut diamonds weigh .20cts and add even more sparkle to the earrings. From top to bottom, these earrings measure 1.43 inches.
