The years between the wars, the Art Deco period, were characterized by restless dynamism. In Europe and the United States, people were confronted with far-reaching innovations. Electric light conquered everyday life, film brought forth new idols that were admired far beyond national borders, and the automobile changed the image of cities forever. Architecture, too, was now striving confidently upwards, giving urban space a hitherto unknown face. While tensions on a social and political level intensified and pushed inexorably to the surface, public life still shone with seductive abundance. At night, when movie palaces, department stores and restaurants were brightly lit and the headlights of automobiles brought movement and speed to the streets, women and men could feel part of a new, better and modern world. It was in this atmosphere of enthusiasm for glamour, luxury and beauty that this pair of earrings was created. A vivid green emerald forms the centerpiece of each of the platinum on gold studs. The stones, which originate from Brazil, are cushion-shaped in a step cut and develop an intense luminosity that almost seems to glow from within. Their deep green color inevitably attracts the eye and is reminiscent of the lush vegetation of the tropical regions of South America. The emerald is surrounded by openwork settings set with a total of 36 sparkling old-cut diamonds weighing around 1.60 carats. In combination with the light platinum, a cool, contrasting play of colors of green and white is created, which is characteristic of the Art Deco design language. The earrings have been fitted with new studs and matching friction backs, making them comfortable and uncomplicated to wear today.
