Black and white, brilliance and shadow, day and night: the contrasts that characterize the exciting decade of Art Deco are still fascinating today. The late 1920s were a time of social and economic upheaval: characterized by new, dizzying wealth, previously unknown pleasures such as the cinema, but also by profound changes such as the increasing spread of the automobile. It is no wonder that a new style emerged in this era that wanted to break with the past just as radically. Art Deco was international, shimmering in the bright brilliance of diamonds and inspiring with its striking, geometric shapes. Monochrome colour combinations - black and white - were particularly popular in the early years of this style, as was platinum, which was used on a large scale for the first time. Later, yellow gold returned and tastes changed. These earrings reflect exactly this style. Wide, shiny platinum showpieces are attached to a gold ear hoop. Twenty-six diamonds cover each surface of the artfully designed geometric shapes. At the lower end, a deep black onyx sphere completes the design. It creates a striking contrast to the radiant brightness of the platinum and diamonds and lends the two-dimensional design of the upper elements an elegant volume. The diamond-set platinum elements originally came from an Art Deco watch bracelet - one of those delicate watches with a tiny dial that are rarely worn today. A skillful goldsmith transformed these antique pieces of jewelry, added the onyxes and the earpieces and thus created a new masterpiece in the spirit of Art Déco. The freely movable onyxes create a play of light and reflection with every movement. An elegant pair of earrings that combines a hundred years of craftsmanship and has been recreated in our workshop using historical elements.
