Description

Sublime pendant from the Art Deco period (1920-1930) representing a chiseled gold triangle in the center of which is nestled a delicately worked rose, from its thin stem to its leaves and the corolla petals. The bottom of the triangle is topped with a triangular-shaped white gold piece with a cutaway and mirror finish for maximum light reflection. A piece typical of the motifs of the Art Deco period, combining modernism and geometric shapes and the naturalistic remains of the Art Nouveau period preceding it.

The story: The Art Deco jewel, born in the 1920s and 1930s, embodies a bold aesthetic combining geometric lines, modern refinement and attention to detail. Among the emblematic motifs of this era, the rose occupies a special place — a symbol of femininity, beauty and timeless delicacy. Interpreted according to the codes of the Art Deco style, the rose is often stylized, refined, sometimes almost abstract, fitting harmoniously into symmetrical and architectural compositions. Here made in white and yellow gold, it reveals a subtle play of contrasts and volumes, combining the softness of the floral motif with the graphic rigour of the time. The Art Deco rose embodies the perfect balance between nature and modernity, romanticism and sophistication.
