Geometric Art Deco Necklace with Amethyst & Pearls

Made around 1920, as the Edwardian era ended and the Art Deco movement began, this stunning amethyst pendant is designed to be a statement piece. The large pendant, almost 2 inches long, is set with a royal purple amethyst, sparkling diamonds, and lustrous pearls, exuding luxury. 

The central amethyst is faceted into an octagonal lozenge shape, adding a geometric touch to the design. It is accented with angular diamond panels on the top and bottom, complemented by rows of white pearls on either side. The contrast between the angular sparkle of the amethyst and diamonds and the soft curves and luster of the pearls creates a captivating and artistic piece of jewelry. 

This exquisite piece is made of platinum over gold and suspended on a choker-length platinum and pearl station chain measuring just under 15 inches long. One can easily imagine a glamorous jazz dancer wearing this over a flapper dress! The necklace can be lengthened, or the amethyst pendant can be removed for wear on other chains—don't hesitate to contact us for more information. 

Details: Antique necklace in platinum and 14k gold, set with approximately 10ct octagonal amethyst, 0.80 carats total weight of old European cut diamonds (SI GH), and seed pearl accents; early Art Deco, circa 1920.
