Elegant Déco Pendant with a 1.00 ct Old European Cut Diamond in Platinum

This pendant from the turbulent 1920s is a sight to behold. Crafted from solid platinum, the piece showcases the inimitable elegance of Art Deco design and sparkles with a dazzling white glow created by the interplay of platinum and diamonds. Art Deco jewellery emerged against the backdrop of profound aesthetic changes following World War I. The floral and asymmetrical forms of Art Nouveau gave way to geometric order, symmetry, and a design language influenced by architecture, Cubism, and industrial design. The Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes, held in Paris in 1925, gave this movement its name and promoted its international spread. Our pendant features an elongated shape, and with its vertical orientation, it reflects the era’s design focus on proportion, linearity, and architectural structure. It seems as though the design was inspired by the silhouette of modern skyscrapers to provide a fitting frame for the diamond. A total of 17 diamonds, set with delicate milgrains, transform the pendant into a fireworks display of white light reflections. The highlight of the creation is a magnificent one-carat diamond in a carré setting. All stones are set in platinum. Platinum played a central role in Art Deco jewelry design. Due to its high strength, the metal allowed for extremely delicate constructions and minimalist settings that visually highlighted the gemstones. Diamonds, with their high refractive index, were particularly well-suited to this clear, geometric design language. Combined with platinum—whose cool colour recedes visually—this created a monochromatic aesthetic in which form, structure, and the play of light took precedence over colour and ornamentation. This very well-preserved pendant found its way to us from Hamburg. It is accompanied by an independent appraisal that confirms the quality of its materials.
