The heyday of Art Deco fell between the two catastrophes of the 20th century, the two great wars. However, it was precisely in these intervening years that the art of jewelry experienced an unprecedented wealth of materials and a perfection of execution that has never been achieved again. In those years, everything seemed to interpenetrate. A new formal language, which was explicitly directed against the floral Art Nouveau style and sought to counter it with clearer, purer forms, was applied in almost all areas of the arts. The architecture of the time particularly impressed the people of the 1920s, as did the new automobiles and the unconditional modernity associated with them. "Higher and higher, further and further, faster and faster" was the attitude to life in this era, and this was a source of confidence and joie de vivre. The large pair of earrings presented here are entirely in keeping with this era. A finely designed structure rises above two intensely green, smooth-cut Colombian emeralds, illustrating the understanding of form of the time described above. The graphic elements are decorated with fine millegrains, creating a play of light and shadow with the incident light. Together, 72 baguette- and octagonal-cut diamonds form a pattern that covers the platinum with their starry brilliance. At the beginning of the century, platinum was the most expensive precious metal of all, and platinum jewels were correspondingly exclusive. The flexible combination of all the elements creates a new interplay of reflections with every movement. The pair has been preserved in the case of a jeweler on London's Old Bond Street; we discovered it in Zurich. An absolute recommendation for all lovers of exciting earrings of exquisite quality.
