It was the bob, the short hairstyle of the 1920s, that made the long earring an indispensable accessory—because it drew attention to the hairstyle, which was as elegant as it was emancipated. While Asta Nielsen still shocked the Weimar Republic with her bob in 1921, by the middle of the decade it had already ascended to the pinnacle of fashion—and with it, earrings. In 1926, the German fashion magazine *i* *Die Dame* /i reported that there were two types of bob: a very angular one and a softer, wavy one: “The new jewellery effectively complements both styles. Elegant women are currently very fond of wearing long earrings.” Such a lady would surely have noticed these earrings at some point—perhaps in a jeweler’s window, perhaps while she was already seated in the showroom surrounded by sparkling offerings. Teardrop-shaped elements dangle from practical leverbacks. A single old-cut diamond and sparkling milgrains transform the dangling earrings into a symphony of white light reflections. The upper and lower sections are connected by a flexible joint, making them comfortable to wear and allowing them to sway elegantly at the ear. A strikingly beautiful pair of earrings that embodies the modern Art Deco spirit in every respect. The quote is from *i* *Die Dame – Ein deutsches Journal für den verwöhnten Geschmack* , September 1926 issue.
