Description from the seller
Elegant long earrings in white gold, dating to the 1940s and emblematic of the late Art Deco period, a time characterized by geometric sophistication and refined design. With a length of 5.5 cm and a width of 1.5 cm, they present a streamlined, very present 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 the white gold and diamonds reinforces the sophisticated aesthetic typical 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 artisanship.
During the 1940s, Art Deco evolved toward lighter, more streamlined forms due to post-war influence, maintaining luxury but with more elegant and refined compositions. A piece with character, history, and a strong aesthetic identity, ideal for collectors and lovers of vintage jewelry.
Gemstones are commonly treated to improve color or clarity. This has not been investigated for this specific item.
The piece shows no distinguishing hallmark; the gold has been previously inspected by a professional.
It is shipped well-packaged, by certified mail and insured.
The piece is sent with standard packaging.
Pickup is available in Madrid or Barcelona, by prior arrangement.
