Ravishing Art Deco Clip With Diamonds In Platinum, ca. 1930

One of the most beautiful and typical jewellery pieces of the Art Deco are clips. The special thing about this new type of brooch was that it could no longer be worn only on the lapel, but everywhere on the dress, on the belt, on the bag and even in the hair. Often as a pair, but also individually, surprising accents could be set, which had not been possible before. At the time of their introduction, the shape of the clips was initially flat, the surfaces richly set with diamonds. In the course of the 1930s, more voluminous, geometric shapes came into fashion. Also, yellow gold again replaced the previously favored white gold, in line with the general trend of Art Deco. One last innovation before the upheaval of the Great War was the redesign of the back holder towards the end of the 1930s. Whereas previously there had been a single large plate with a spring mechanism, now two interconnected pins were used. Armed with all this knowledge, it is easy to date our clip: It glows white like ice, cool and elegant, and shows a clip plate on the back. It must therefore have been made in the years around 1930. The design is composed of geometric shapes in a dynamic way, so that it appears like an elegantly draped curtain of light. The clip is made of high-carat white gold with a platinum face: set on it are a total of seventy old European and baguette-cut diamonds, which together weigh in at about 5.92 ct. The pictured independent appraisal by the German Association for Gemstone Evaluation has confirmed the quality. On the history of the clip, see David Bennett/Daniela Mascetti: Understanding Jewellery, Woodbridge 2010, pp. 322-325, with numerous illustrations.
