ART-DECO 1920 Antique Necklace In Platinum With Blue Sapphires & Diamonds
An art-deco platinum necklace with sapphire and diamonds.
A gorgeous antique necklace pendant created in the United States during the Art Deco period, circa 1925–1930. This finely crafted piece is executed in solid platinum .900/.999 fineness, likely alloyed with precious iridium, and finished with a high polish that enhances its crisp geometric design—hallmarks of the American Art Deco aesthetic. The pendant is meticulously handcrafted with precise architectural patterns, reflecting the period’s emphasis on symmetry and refined detail. It is lavishly embellished with one hundred two calibré-cut sapphires, carefully set to form continuous fields of rich blue color, and further accented by seventy-nine European-cut diamonds, adding brilliance and contrast. The original gemstones are well preserved, contributing to the overall integrity and desirability of the piece. The pendant is suspended from a 17.5-inch chain and fitted with its original spring ring clasp. A magnificent and highly decorative example of American Art Deco jewelry, this piece combines exceptional craftsmanship, fine materials, and timeless geometric elegance.
