Antique Art Deco Emerald & 1.04 ctw Diamond Platinum Shoulder Duster Earrings

About the Item

Crafted from precious platinum, these Art Deco earrings were made circa 1925 and feature beautifully matched natural emeralds gleaming among 1.04 carats total of brilliant, sparkling pave-set diamonds. Each section of these earrings is articulated, allowing free movement when worn, adding to their eye-catching allure. Colorful gemstones were favored by Art Deco designers to achieve contrast with diamonds and white metals to create their geometric designs with maximum visual impact. These earrings are the embodiment of the sharp geometric lines and bright pops of strong color favored by jewelers of the era. The Art Deco period spanned from approximately 1915-1935 and derives its name from a 1925 Paris exposition celebrating the chic new geometric style emerging after the end of WWI. Freer style was celebrated and women who embraced the flapper lifestyle refused to return to societal constraints, instead choosing liberated style and self-expression with exuberant jewels and looser clothing. Glittering jewels were a joy following austerity measures during the First World War. A Small Note on the History of Emeralds: Emeralds are among the most valuable fine gemstones, at times being more desirable and valued than rubies and sapphires and even diamonds. First discovered more than 3000 years ago in ancient Egypt, the infamous emerald mines were worked by Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Known as “The Jewel of Kings,” emerald gemstones have a storied association with royalty; Cleopatra, for example, was known to wear emeralds not only to enhance her beauty, but also as a savvy display of wealth and the riches of Egypt. The ancient scholar Pliny wrote in praise of emerald, their vibrant green color representative of a beautiful and hopeful spring. Emerald is the birthstone for the month of May, as well as the gift for 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries, but we think this ring is perfect for any occasion, or even as a special gift to yourself.
