A 1930s double strand of faux pearls with a large silver Art Deco paste and sapphire clasp, circa 1935.
Faux pearls became popular in the 1920s and 1930s as affordable alternatives to natural pearls, reflecting the era's fascination with glamour and geometric elegance. Often crafted with glass beads or other materials coated to mimic real pearls, they allowed wider access to fashionable jewellery.
Art Deco pieces typically feature bold, symmetrical designs, combining pearls with materials like chrome, onyx, or crystals. Art Deco faux pearls remain celebrated for their vintage charm and iconic aesthetic, embodying timeless sophistication.
