A 1920s silver and paste Art Deco pendant with a jade style drop, circa 1925.
Art Deco jewellery from the 1920s to the 1930s, reflects the glamour and innovation of the era. Influenced by modernism, cubism, and ancient cultures, it features bold geometric shapes, symmetrical patterns, and vibrant colours. Platinum, white gold, and diamonds dominate, often accented with emeralds, sapphires, onyx, and coral.
Techniques like calibre-cut gemstones and pavé settings create seamless, intricate designs. Motifs include sunbursts, zigzags, and Egyptian-inspired forms. Art Deco pieces are celebrated for their elegance, precision, and timeless appeal, embodying both luxury and modernity.
Today, they remain highly collectible, prized for their craftsmanship and distinctive aesthetic that defined an iconic design movement.
