These exquisite Art Déco earrings guarantee a glamorous appearance. A total of twenty diamonds with a combined weight of around 0.66 carats and two saltwater cultured pearls make up the setting of the pendants, which are forged from gold and worn with a simple hoop. The extravagant design of the expansive showpieces represents a stylized fabric drapery, which is why this type of jewelry is also known as "drapery jewellery" in English. An Akoya pearl is set in a hollow at the top, while three panels are set with old-cut diamonds as hanging motifs. The fields around the diamonds are made of yellow gold, while the framing lines are made of a slightly redder gold. The pair dates from the mid-1930s. Its shape and the use of warm yellow and rose gold are already committed to the so-called "retro" style. The interplay of precious gemstones and unusual shapes gives the pair a spectacular, radiant and excitingly luxurious look. The unusual earrings came to us from Hamburg.

The 1920s brought a new style to the world of jewellery with Art Déco: geometric abstractions, luxurious materials and luxurious furnishings were sought after and delivered by goldsmiths in Paris, London and Vienna as well as their colleagues in Berlin and overseas. The longer and wider the style spread, the more the forms developed. In Paris and the USA, a special style emerged in the years after 1930, known in the USA as "retro" jewelry: The shapes became stronger, more physical, and the jewellery even more sumptuous. Fashion now preferred pieces of jewellery made of yellow or red gold to those made of platinum or white gold and colored stones replaced diamonds in popularity. The surfaces were fanned out geometrically and the jewels were designed almost like cubist architecture.
