In the Art Deco years, jewellery had to be one thing above all: cool and crystalline, full of the white light of platinum and diamonds, often in geometrically elongated shapes: this is how the pendants, rings and earrings of the era are known. Earrings in this elongated shape are particularly characteristic of the time - because they went so wonderfully with the now rebelliously short hair of the modern woman, the bob. In September 1926, the fashion magazine Die Dame reported that there were two types of bob, one very edgy and one softer, undulating: "The new jewellery effectively supports both aspirations. Elegant women love to wear long earrings at the moment, but only for the evening, as they are impractical during the day." And it was also reported from Paris that "earrings, whether in the best stores or on the ears of the fashion-conscious lady, seem to grow in length and size every day." This pair of earrings reflects this fashion. Diamonds and intense blue sapphires are set in platinum frames. The design seems to flow out from the ear, and what is particularly beautiful is that the earrings are very flexible. Several movable gemstones are set under a larger diamond, which covers the ear screw, before the large drop is added. A sapphire cut into a drop can also swing within the frame: Everything is light and movement - just as modern life in the 1920s should be. We discovered the beautiful, perfectly preserved earrings in Vienna. They look wonderful when worn. If you don't like ear screws, our goldsmith can add ear studs free of charge.
