During the Art Deco era, East Asia played a pivotal role in the arts. Puccini’s Turandot and Lehár’s operetta The Land of Smiles are set in China. Furthermore, nearly all of the major Art Deco jewelers were influenced by Asian works: Cartier developed a line featuring Chinese motifs that even became a defining style for the house’s designs. This necklace beautifully embodies this fascination with China: it features a finely crafted, elongated piece of Chinese jade. Delicately carved leaves and fruits adorn the surface, which glows in wonderful shades of green. Rising above the carving is a delicately designed structure that illustrates the geometric sensibility of the era. The graphic element, reminiscent of a spire, is adorned with fine milgrains, creating a play of light and shadow. Seven octagonal-cut diamonds cover the platinum setting with their star-like brilliance. At the beginning of the century, platinum was the most expensive precious metal and is considered difficult to work with. Consequently, only a thin layer of platinum has been applied here over a white gold base. A delicate, securely mounted chain makes this pendulum-shaped pendant wearable. The movable connection between all the elements creates a beautiful play of light when worn. The necklace is very good in condition and is an original Art Deco piece from around 1925. It came to us from London.
