With the emergence of the modern, geometric design language of Art Deco, onyx also celebrated its triumphant advance. From the beginning of the 1920s, entire pages can be found in old jewelry catalogs dedicated solely to onyx jewellery. In the 19th century, black materials had mainly been used in mourning jewellery. However, they were now detached from this context and were considered chic and understated. In 1922, one could read in the American jewelry journal "The Jewelers' Circular": "The Daily Mail advises that women are no longer guided by superstition in their choice of jewels. Jett and onyx are now very popular." This pendant also dates from this era and is entirely in keeping with the aesthetic ideals of its time. The elongated design features a triangular polished agate as the showpiece, in the center of which a beautiful transitional-cut diamond shines in a platinum setting decorated with millegrains. At the top and bottom, the deep black stone is crowned by staggered, architectural-looking elements in platinum. The platinum rests on the solid yellow gold, which is only visible on the back. This creates an effective contrast of black and white. Small diamond roses further enliven the design. Another onyx with a decorative groove pattern forms the top of the pendant. The special highlight of the pendant is a slider with a hexagonal onyx with another diamond rose in the middle. This allows the necklace to be worn wider or closer to the neck, depending on your mood. This piece from around 1930 is in very good condition and will delight you at first glance with its high-quality workmanship, elegant design and luxurious materials!
