Vtg 1930s Art Deco Open Back Bezel Set Crystal Glass Sterling Silver Necklace

  

Setting tests for sterling silver, glass. Why You'll Love It. Make it bold and bright. With its shimmering, rich purple crystals, made to emulate amethyst, this Art Deco necklace puts on quite a show.

Its classic silhouette gets a one-up from the cushion-cut shape of the crystals captured in a sterling silver bezel setting, proving there. S no such thing as too much in this 1930s piece.

Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the glass. Antique and vintage pieces have been passed through generations, so it's not often you find a piece that has been maintained in its near-original condition.

Such pieces are not only higher in value, but they are also more collectible, as they carry the history of past owners but do not show it. They reveal what the piece would have looked like when it was first created, giving us an insight into a bygone era. Art Deco is one of the first truly international styles, that influenced the design of buildings, furniture, fashion and of course, jewelry. The movement was given a name from the international exposition of Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, that was held in Paris in 1925 and largely dedicated to the jewelry arts. Born out of ideas of modernism and the Industrial Age, this manifested into designs that used Cubism's bold abstraction and rectilinear shapes and combined them with intricate patterning, bold color and symmetry.

High-end jewelry design houses like Cartier and Boucheron set the trends in gold and gemstones, which were then emulated by costume jewelry companies in glass or perhaps plastics, and brought to the masses. _gsrx_vers_1436 GS 9.0.5 (1436).
