Description from the seller
Elegant long earrings in white gold, dated to the 1940s and representative of the late Art Deco period, a time characterized by geometric sophistication and refinement in design. With a length of 5.5 cm and a width of 1.5 cm, they present a slim, striking silhouette designed to enhance movement and light.
Each earring is composed of a careful combination of rubies and diamonds: 7 rubies of 0.03 ct, a central ruby of 0.10 ct, another of 0.05 ct, one of 0.04 ct, and four of 0.01 ct, accompanied by 11 diamonds of 0.01 ct that provide subtle, elegant sparkle.
The contrast between the deep red of the rubies and the cool shine of white gold and diamonds reinforces the sophisticated aesthetic of late Art Deco.
The design reflects a balance between dynamism and symmetry, very characteristic of the era, with meticulous craftsmanship that denotes high-quality artistry.
During the 1940s, Art Deco evolved toward lighter and more streamlined forms due to postwar influence, maintaining luxury but with more elegant and streamlined compositions. A piece with character, history, and a strong aesthetic identity, ideal for collectors and vintage jewelry enthusiasts.
The precious stones are commonly treated to improve color or clarity. This has not been investigated for this specific item.
The piece shows no distinctive hallmark; the gold has been previously reviewed by a professional.
It is sent perfectly packaged, by certified mail and insured.
The item is shipped with standard packaging.
It can be collected in Madrid or Barcelona, by prior notice.

It is your responsibility to review all of the information provided about an object, including the condition and description, before placing an order. Sellers are responsible for the information, pictures and description provided, including the quality, quantity and nature of the jewelry supplied. A small imperfection that cannot be seen in the photo but is included in the description is not a non-conformity.

A Lab Report contains only the characteristics of an article described after it has been graded, tested, examined, and analyzed using the techniques and equipment used at the time of the examination from that specific Lab. The results of any other examination performed on the article may differ depending when, how, by whom and with which grading standard the article is examined. In addition, any changes and improvements in techniques and equipment that may have occurred which may enable the examiner to detect, among other things, the use of processes for altering the characteristics of an article which use was previously undetectable, does not automatically mean the object does not conform to its description.
