Vintage 1930s Art Deco Open Back Crystal Glass Sterling Silver Festoon Necklace

15 3/4″ (necklace), 1 3/4″ (of drop). 2 1/2 (of festoon). Why You’ll Love It. A necklace that glows wherever you go. At least, that’s the idea in this 1930s Art Deco necklace. Despite its petite and oh-so-delicate festoon silhouette, its vivid radiance with a monochromatic color palette and unique yellow hue, just can’t be ignored. With an array of baguettes and brilliant-cut crystals set in an open sterling silver setting, it’s a stunner that’ll stand out in your collection and along your neckline. Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the glass. Color plays a key role in jewelry design and in turn its collectability. Whether natural stones or glass, what exact hue of blue was used, or the combination of colors can tell you what time period a piece was made. Certain shades can be more common during a particular decade, making that piece of jewelry a classic example of the period – or – conversely a vibrant and unique shade might make it uncommon. 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_1503 GS 9.2.1 (1503).
