Vtg 1930s Art Deco Sterling Silver Natural Carnelian Marcasite Necklace

Why You’ll Love It. This eye-catching sterling silver Art Deco necklace dons distinctive oval shapes – a note to the era’s penchant for modern, sleek lines. The streamlined silhouette is both complex and classic with uniquely shaped geometric links inset with shimmering marcasites. And just when you thought this piece couldn’t be more stunning, just look at the mirror-like glossy sheen of the natural carnelian stones. Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the carnelian. All marcasites are intact and in place. 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 certain pieces that fall into a distinct collectable category, sometimes referred to as classics. However, the most collectable of these classics are those that include something special (such as an extra design element) that set them apart from other similar pieces. _gsrx_vers_1436 GS 9.0.5 (1436).
