The years between the wars brought a previously unseen departure into modernity in fashion and art. Abstraction and the avant-garde sought new forms of design precisely by turning away from all representationalism. The major Paris exhibition ‘Exposition internationale des Arts Décoratifs et industriels modernes’ in 1925 marked the peak of this development and France became the driving force behind strictly geometric forms of design. Art Déco, named after the successful show, spread rapidly across the world's metropolises and countered the floral Art Nouveau style with an almost technical, but in any case clearer and cooler new design language. This pair of cufflinks, created around 1920, beautifully illustrates the spirit of the time. Four elongated octagonal shields are made of gold. Their front sides are covered with ornamentally embossed platinum and feature an elegant tendril pattern against a black enamelled background. A white diamond and a synthetic sapphire sparkle in the centre of each button, revolutionising the world of jewellery at the time. We really liked the cufflinks, which were made in the United States, as their elegant design language perfectly captures the taste of their time. We discovered them here in Berlin.
