Geometric, symmetrical, high-contrast, made in platinum with diamonds and calibre-cut colored stones between roughly 1920 and 1935. Art Deco jewelry was built by a design culture that decided flowing lines were finished and precision was the future. A century later, it still reads as modern.
Made With Purpose
When choosing a piece for someone who wears jewelry through a full day of movement, consider the revolver clasp, which holds because no linear tension from routine activity can accidentally engage the rotational release.
Visually Speaking
The sunburst is a specific sun rendering: radiating rays extending symmetrically from a central disc or stone. It appeared prominently in Baroque and Victorian jewelry and has remained in continuous use since. The form works because the geometry is immediately resolved and the central stone anchors it without requiring additional visual support.
