Vintage Art Deco Coral Pink Glass Enamel Silver Necklace Bracelet Set

17 1/4″ (necklace), 7″ (bracelet). 1″ (necklace), 5/8″ (bracelet). Alloy (does not have silver/gold content). Why You’ll Love It. This Art Deco necklace and bracelet set is a blooming beauty that perfectly marries angular shapes and graceful curves. The vibrant pink glass, molded into an intricate floral pattern, brings a touch of nature to the bold and sleek design reminiscent of carved coral. Alternating links boast a delicate floral motif in black and white enameling, adding a charming flourish to this one-of-a-kind set. Bright patina with soft surface wear to the setting at the back. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the glass. No chipping or thinning. Art Deco is one of the first truly international styles, that influenced the design of buildings, furniture, fashion and of course, jewelry. The movement was given a name from the international exposition of Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, that was held in Paris in 1925 and largely dedicated to the jewelry arts. Born out of ideas of modernism and the Industrial Age, this manifested into designs that used Cubism’s bold abstraction and rectilinear shapes and combined them with intricate patterning, bold color and symmetry. High-end jewelry design houses like Cartier and Boucheron set the trends in gold and gemstones, which were then emulated by costume jewelry companies in glass or perhaps plastics, and brought to the masses. There are several different styles of enameling: guilloche (colored, transparent enamel over a metal surface with patterned grooves), champlevé (enamel fills etchings or depressions in a metal surface), plique a jour (translucent enamel fitted into open-back metal cells) and more. What makes antique or vintage enamel pieces collectible is the condition of the enamel work-is it distinct and vibrant? Is it free from chips? Other characteristics like an elaborate pattern, unique depiction, or the use of multiple colors can add more value to an enamel pieces. _gsrx_vers_1503 GS 9.2.1 (1503).
