Art Deco Platinum And Clear Quartz Crystal Necklace With Diamonds
There’s something truly unique and magical about this antique crystal necklace that’s guaranteed to make any neckline stand out from the ordinary. This Depression-era delight stars a frosted rock quartz crystal, etched with a radiant starburst motif and centred with three round brilliant-cut diamonds that shimmer from afar. The translucent pendant suspends from a fanciful filigree-link chain, artfully rendered in platinum with articulated floral motifs. The crystal boasts an excellent white transparency, proof of its high quality, while the cut corners soften the frame and make it look ever-so-elegant. Three more diamonds sit on the filigree detail above the pendant, giving an almost ethereal presence to this Art-Deco beauty. Everything from the design to the materials used in this extraordinary piece is evocative of the period’s stunning jewellery and Great Gatsby-esque lifestyle. Platinum was the metal of choice, geometric shapes with an industrial feel featured everywhere, and the signature filigree work was perfected in the late 1920s through the use of die-cast machines. A truly special lavalière crystal necklace from the turn of the 20th century, suitable for a Silent Screen goddess!
