Black and white, light and shadow, day and night: the contrasts that describe the tense decade of Art Deco continue to fascinate to this day. The 1920s were marked by social and economic tensions: by great new wealth, by previously unseen pleasures like the cinema, but also by all-changing developments like the spread of the automobile. Not surprisingly, this period also saw the emergence of a new fashion that sought to break just as radically with what had gone before. Art Deco was international, dazzlingly bright in its gleam of diamonds and modern in its hard graphic forms. Especially in the first years of the new style, people loved monochrome colors, black and white, and especially platinum, which was used on a larger scale for the first time in these years. These characteristics and style features are also combined in the pendant presented here. The design is based on the harsh contrast of a large, black onyx cabochon with the glistening brightness of white platinum and sparkling diamonds. A modern, graphic openwork frame unfolds around the onyx, with bands of small sapphires accenting it in four places. The resulting pendant is at once large in size and yet finely crafted. It swings on a long, delicate chain of the same time. The pendant is an almost exemplary jewel of Art Deco. We were able to discover it in Vienna.
