Art Deco Emerald and Diamond Necklace, Circa 1930

$ 0.00 USD

Carved colored gemstones are a hallmark of the Indo-Persian influenced jewels of the Art Deco period seen in the jewels of important master jewelers such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Mauboussin during the 1920s and 1930s. Purchased from Indian precious stone dealer of carved emeralds, sapphires and rubies and sometimes, supplied by the Maharajahs themselves, carved leaf motifs feature heavily in Indian and Persian styled jewels of this period. This pendent necklace is a classic example of this design. Housed in a cartouche of diamonds, it is unmistakably Deco, conveying movement, light and the refined elegance for which the Art Deco period is best known.
