Germany experienced a stormy economic upswing in the mid-1920s. The major crises - the lost world war, the loss of the overseas colonies and the inflation of the immediate post-war period - had been overcome. Massive investments from the USA stabilized the Weimar Republic for several years and gave the country a boom that contributed significantly to the characterization of this decade as the "Golden Twenties". The store windows shone again with a new luxury, and last but not least, jewelry and jewels served to make this wild joie de vivre visible to the outside world. The style of the jewellery of those years moved away from the historicizing forms of the 19th century and often took unconventional, new paths that took up the influences of contemporary art movements. Sometimes, however, historical forms were also reinterpreted in line with modern tastes. The result was a short but intense era that could hardly have been more inventive and imaginative: first-class craftsmanship, exciting new shapes and the exuberant sparkle of high-quality gemstones characterize these pieces of jewelry. Many conventions of the tradition-conscious and rigid 19th century were broken in this period. From the 1920s, for example, the color black was no longer reserved primarily for mourning jewelry, but was now also worn for the joy of its austere aesthetics. Monochromatic designs shaped the jewelry world of early Art Deco. This pendant, which presents a polished onyx with a white diamond in a symmetrical gold frame, also follows this principle. The onyx is beveled on the sides and the old-cut diamond in the middle weighs around 0.08 carats. Fine millegrains adorn the setting, and a simple eyelet holds the gold anchor chain that we have added to the pendant. This fine piece of jewelry from the Art Deco period came to us here in Berlin and is in very good condition.
