A pair of Art Deco pendant earrings, each featuring an elongated coral drop set in a delicate millegrain setting of diamonds, platinum, and black enamel. The drops are suspended from three natural saltwater pearls and a button-shaped coral.
Coral has long been prized in fine jewellery for its warm, vibrant colour. In the early 20th century, deep-red and carefully shaped coral was highly sought after in English and European jewellery. Here, the coral’s vivid hue contrasts beautifully with the lustrous pearls, exemplifying the Art Deco fascination with bold yet harmonious colour combinations. The millegrain detailing and use of black enamel add precision and graphic definition.
Mounted in platinum.
English, circa 1920.
