The rare beauty of Antique Jewellery, brought to you by {name}

Peter Wright

A splendid example of Art Deco elegance, this charming vintage pendant takes the form of a smoking pipe, meticulously crafted from 18K yellow gold and platinum, circa 1920. Adorned with six natural rose cut diamonds and a vibrant ruby, its miniature stature and the exceptional craftsmanship evident on both the front and back sides exude a sense of admiration and delight. This piece not only encapsulates the era's penchant for abstract motifs and geometric forms but also showcases an exquisite attention to detail, making it a timeless treasure that brings joy and whimsy to its beholder.

Style
Art Deco - Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style which had its origins in Paris in the first decades of the 20th century. The style originated in the 1920s and continued to be employed until after World War II. The term "art deco" first saw wide use after an exhibition in 1966, referring to the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes that was the culmination of high-end style modern in Paris. Led by the best designers in the decorative arts such as fashion, and interior design, Art Deco affected all areas of design throughout the 1920s and 1930s, including architecture and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as painting, the graphic arts and film. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, glamorous, functional and modern.

Style specifics

Period
ca. 1920

Theme
smoking pipe

Material
18K yellow gold and platinum (touchstone tested)

Extra information
During this era, jewellery crafted in yellow or red gold often featured diamonds set within a slender plate of platinum, elegantly integrated into the gold foundation of the piece. This method is similarly employed in this jewel.

Diamonds
Six rose cut diamonds . We do not have the weight of the diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cuts.
All diamonds we offer are screened by the I.J.G.C. for whether they are natural or synthetic, and all diamonds in this jewel are 100% guaranteed to be natural.

Precious stones
One ruby . We did not check if the ruby is lab produced or not as this information has no influence on the value of this jewel. Natural rubies and lab produced rubies were both used in this era, rather more for their effect than for their intrinsic value.

Birthstones
Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April and ruby for July.

Hallmarks
No trace.

Dimensions
total height 2,74 cm (1,08 inch), width pipe 1,15 cm (0,45 inch)

- Antique and vintage jewellery often undergoes thoughtful refurbishment, remodelling, or repairs to enhance its longevity and wearability. Such pieces frequently bear marks of this tender care. Furthermore, we present our antique and vintage jewellery in its authentic state, refraining from removing scratches or applying rhodium plating to white gold items. Our priority is to preserve the genuine allure and history of each piece. However, as the new owner, you have the option to take it to a local goldsmith for a cosmetic refresh, should you choose.
