Art Deco ruby and diamond earrings from the 1920s
Designs in Art Deco jewellery resulted in some truly spectacular pieces being made, and here are a magnificent pair of Art Deco ruby and diamond earrings from the 1920s.
Beautifully designed with a wonderful geometric design, they are made in platinum which is a spectacular precious metal that was popular during the 1920's. Being so pure, platinum retains its pure white colour and is such a strong material to secure the rubies and diamonds safely.
Set with lovely white diamonds and rubies that all have a fabulous strong red colour really makes these earrings stand out so elegantly on the ear.
In each earring there are four carre cut rubies each separated by three single cut diamonds surrounding the vibrant diamond in the centre. With an additional diamond set on the post, the rubies total for both earrings to 0.12 carats and all the smaller diamonds total 0.72 carats with the two centre diamonds having a combined weight of 1.20 carats. The size of these centre diamonds combined with the elegant design of the earrings, really guarantees that they will always be admired and noticed.
The setting around each of the diamonds is called millgrain setting which is more beautiful and special that just bezel setting, and this millgrain setting can be seen as the elegant crimping along the edge of the platinum which was again very popular in Art Deco jewellery.
From all angles, these are such a spectacular pair of genuine Art Deco ruby and diamond earrings that will always be loved and admired.

Art Deco rock crystal ruby and diamond pendant of a cherub
This Art Deco rock crystal ruby and diamond pendant of a cherub is quite simply a masterpiece in jewellery and is breathtaking to admire from near or afar.
Absolutely exquisitely made in the 1920’s in platinum, the expert hand carving of a cherub is incredible and has actually been reverse carved, meaning that it was carved from behind. More than likely this would have been carved in Idar-Oberstein in Germany which for centuries has been renowned as the place for superb quality carvings. Pieces from Idar-Oberstein have been sent all around the world to be set into jewellery such as this pendant here.
The carving of the cherub is so precise and detailed and when you think that this was not only carved by hand, but also in reverse it is even more amazing. Rock crystal is from the quartz family and has been used for carvings for centuries due to its hardness and wonderful clear optical properties.
Set entirely in platinum which was the most popular precious metal during the 1920’s Art Deco era, platinum has the wonderful ability to be made into a very fine wire, all the while being able to retain its strength to support and hold the rubies and diamonds set into this pendant.
Surrounding the pendant on each side are thirteen rubies which stand out so well against the pure white of the platinum and then the pendant is highlighted with seventeen diamonds that sparkle in the light so beautifully.
With the pendant measuring 18.7mm wide at the centre by 59mm from the bottom to the top of the bail, it is set on a 54cm 14ct white gold chain that is set with a platinum slide that itself is set with six more diamonds and three more rubies and accentuate the pendant just perfectly. The way this slide can move up and down the chain highlights the quality and thought that went into making this piece and shows just why Art Deco jewellery is so special.
This is easily one of the finest Art Deco pendants that you could ever find and is just incredible from any angle that you look at it.

Here is a ring that is truly spectacular from all angles and aspects and is destined to always be admired.
This platinum Art Deco sapphire and diamond ring from the 1920's was exquisitely hand made to the finest quality and the attention to detail is just spectacular.
Set in the centre as the star of the show is an incredible 3.22 carat natural sapphire that has not been heat treated. Heat treatment of sapphire and rubies has been done for centuries and is still done today to improve the colour and clarity of the stone and is a completely accepted practice, however it is always nice to get a sapphire that has not undergone any treatment whatsoever.
The colour from this sapphire is so intense and looks even more amazing set into the pure white of the platinum which was used to make many rings of the Art Deco era such as this one. Platinum has the incredible advantage over white gold to be made into such a fine wire all the while still being strong enough to support the sapphire and diamonds.
The diamonds go around the setting of the sapphire incredibly not just in a single row, but a double row. The detail that went into hand making this ring is just incredible and so spectacular to admire from all angles.
With the top row set with sixteen diamonds and the lower row set with ten more diamonds, on each side on those gorgeous shoulders are an additional eight diamonds each side. The total diamond weight in this ring is 0.42
The attention to detail is just incredible and all went to highlight that magnificent sapphire in the centre.
Perfect as an engagement ring or for any occasion, this unheat treated sapphire and diamond ring is just spectacular in all respects.

These diamonds total 0.08 carats and where there might not be the greatest amount of diamond weight, there is certainly the greatest amount of love and charm that goes with this ring.
