1920s Glamour: Deco Diamond Pendant
This pendant Art Deco, with its geometric shapes and abstract motifs, is a perfect example of Belgian design from the 1920s, crafted in luxurious platinum.

Suspended from a platinum chain, it embodies the glamour of the era. Although it bears no marks, its quality is undeniable, celebrating April's birthstone and silently bearing witness to the décadence of the Roaring Twenties.

Art Deco - The Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style that originated in Paris in the early decades of the 20th century. Emerging in the 1920s, this style lasted until after the Second World War. The term "Art Deco" was widely used for the first time after an exhibition in 1966, referring to the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, which marked the peak of high-end modern style in Paris. Championed by the best designers of the decorative arts, such as fashion and interior decoration, Art Deco influenced all areas of design throughout the 1920s and 1930s, notably architecture and industrial design, as well as visual arts like painting, graphic arts, and cinema. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, glamorous, functional, and modern.

Abstract motifs and geometric shapes are typical of the Art Deco period. Art Deco moves away from the soft pastels and organic shapes of its predecessor, Art Nouveau, and draws inspiration from many styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Neoclassicism, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, and Futurism. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties and continued in the United States until the 1930s. While many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco is purely decorative.
