Created in France circa 1920, these Art Deco platinum pendant earrings are set with approximately 13.00 carats of sapphires and 7.00 carats of diamonds. Each pendant earring is designed as a cushion-cut diamond top suspending an articulated cascade of stylized diamond foliate elements and two cushion-cut sapphires, one freely hanging, terminating in a flexible diamond fringe, with millegrain accents throughout. Luxuriously long period earrings of this size and quality almost never survived the dictates of changing couture and hairstyles, and these rare jewels glamorously convey the sparkling, fast-moving modernism of the 1920s.
