For each era, there are certain forms of jewelry that are still considered particularly characteristic today. For the Art Deco period, these include bar brooches, flat rings with shield-like sides and, above all, dangle earrings, which came back into fashion after years of restraint. Previously, small stud earrings, dormeuses or even unadorned earlobes had dominated the scene, but the 1920s saw a return to the joy of larger earrings. These new earrings were closely associated with modern bob hairstyles, perhaps the most visible sign of the emancipated woman of the time. They framed the face, emphasized the clear lines of the hairstyle and thus became a symbol of the new aesthetics of the 1920s. This pair of earrings follows this fashion in a particularly beautiful way, without being too large or difficult to wear. A diamond in the so-called Old European Cut in a simple, round bezel setting is attached to each of the gold earwires, which feature a diamond in a trapezoidal bezel setting on the front. Together, these large stones weigh around 1.85 ct, meaning that a total of more than two carats of old-cut diamonds are set in this pair. The earrings came to us from Hamburg; we have renewed the high-carat gold hoops.

In the Golden Twenties, jewellery of cool elegance and the greatest luxury was created in Europe and the world. Intoxicated by the speed of the new automobiles, delighted by the bubbles of champagne and still dizzy from the view of the new skyscrapers, a very unique design language emerged in bright colors, shiny metal and richly set with sparkling gemstones. It was the time of the large jewelry companies in Paris and New York, which catered to an international clientele from the aristocracy, film and business world. However, independent masters also created pieces of previously unseen finesse and perfection. Contrary to the historicizing forms of the 19th century and in contrast to the colourful Art Nouveau style, which was close to natural forms, they created jewellery that was deliberately modern, dynamic and non-representational.
