Jewelry forms of the past were revived several times over the graduated 20th century. The 1930s brought back Biedermeier forms in Germany, the 1970s Art Nouveau. Art Deco forms came back into fashion in the 1980s, presumably due to the strong black and white contrasts that can be found here from time to time. The glamorous design language fitted in well with the life-hungry decade with its desire for daring forms. Not only were old pieces of jewelry worn again, but new creations were also created in the spirit of the 1920s. This pair of earrings is a typical representative of this fashion, mixing inspiration from the past with a modern sense of style. So-called "plaques" made of contrasting onyx and glittering diamonds may have inspired the design. The oval fronts present a beautiful brilliant-cut diamond in the center of a slab of deep black onyx, an idea that was also found in many jewelry designs in the past. The fluted frames in yellow gold and the ear hooks with onyx spheres, which make the pair wearable, are completely contemporary. Beautifully crafted and made from luxurious materials, the pair is a stylish eye-catcher from the 1980s with nostalgic reminiscences of Art Deco. The earrings came to us from London.
