Vintage 1930s Art Deco Amethyst Glass Dangle Silver Filigree Pendant Necklace

19 5/8″ with pendant dropping another 2 5/8″ below. Alloy (does not have silver/gold content). Why You’ll Love It. S bold and charming, you know it. The harmonious juxtaposition of geometry with organic floral motifs in this silver filigree pendant necklace is distinctly Art Deco. The sleek silhouette of the foliate setting flawlessly complements the shimmering purple glass at the focal point. Simple yet striking and dangling freely from its setting this 1930s piece is sure to grab attention. Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the glass. Secure, original clasp and paperclip chain. Gemstones are time consuming to cut, requiring a high degree of skill from a trained craftsperson, and glass cabochons can be equally complicated to manufacture on a large scale while keeping costs down. These constraints are only a few of the reasons you often see similar shapes of stones used in jewelry. For example, for a striking look as well as a unique find. 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. _gsrx_vers_1436 GS 9.0.5 (1436).
