These retro style earrings are sure to make a glamorous statement. A total of thirty diamonds adorn these pendants, crafted from high-karat gold and worn with studs and clip-on hooks. The extravagant design of these two-piece showpieces depicts a stylized fabric drape, which is why this type of jewelry is also known in English as “drapery jewelry.” At the top, fine gold wires form an elegant curve that flares out decoratively at the end, while the lower section forms a pendulum-shaped fold made of fine wires. Some sections are crafted in yellow gold, while others are made of a slightly reddish gold. The pair dates to the mid-1940s. Its form, as well as the use of warm yellow and rose gold, is characteristic of the so-called “retro” style, which belongs to the late Art Deco period. The long pendants were likely made in the United States. The hallmarks reveal that they subsequently made their way to the Netherlands and also to France. The interplay of sparkling gemstones and unusual design elements gives the pair a spectacular, radiant, and luxurious appearance. These unusual earrings came to us from Hamburg.
