Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. Fresh sheen and crisp faceting with light surface wear. There are some tiny chips along the edges and corners of some of the stones, including the central triangle however they are noticeable only on very close inspection. 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. Flapper jewelry was a popular style that emerged in the 1920s when women embraced a more liberated and modern lifestyle. The jewelry was characterized by its bold and unconventional designs, often incorporating geometric shapes, bright colors, and intricate patterns. Pearls, beads, and rhinestones were also common materials used in flapper jewelry, and long necklaces and dangling earrings were popular styles. The jewelry was often worn with the iconic flapper dresses of the time, which were loose-fitting and featured shorter hemlines. Flapper jewelry reflected the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and remains an enduring symbol of the era’s rebellious and carefree attitude. _gsrx_vers_1516 GS 9.3 (1516).
