These Art Deco Earrings with diamonds and black onyx in antique style are crafted in 18k white gold and black onyx, weigh 15.5g and measure 77mm long, 11mm wide and 10.8mm deep. Quintessentially Art Deco by virtue of their elongated shape, geometrical motifs and color-contrasted aesthetic, these attention-seeking black onyx earrings of classic elegance and feminine appeal incorporate each an artistically carved oval-faceted and detachable onyx cabochon drop enhanced by a pair of horizontal diamond 'straps' and an impeccable bell-shaped cap embellished with a delicately scalloped rim. This eye-catching drop suspends from an assemblage of vertically aligned and detachable components including three diamond-adorned cylindrical profiles, a trio of hexagonal profiles two of which are rendered in black onyx and the third in diamond-studded white gold to veil the screw-on clasps. These dynamically contrasted black and white elements can be detached or displaced, as displayed on the photographs, offering versatility of wear with different lengths and styles. These fascinating Art Deco pendant earrings characterizing the early 1920's popular French style are cumulatively adorned with 0.42cts of collet-mounted and bead-set full-cut diamonds graded H color and SI1 clarity. Featuring posts and screw-on clasps, these enchanting earrings are designed for pierced ears exclusively.

In 1925, an International Exhibition of Arts in Paris promoted the creation of innovative jewels in the style which came to be known as Art Deco, an abbreviation of the French title of that exhibition. The decorative motif demonstrated in Art Deco jewelry were characterized by extraordinary eclecticism, encompassing pure geometric shapes, artistic stylization of nature and reinterpretations of exotic oriental forms. The new and exciting possibilities in jewelry design offered by the Art Deco movement were embraced with enthusiasm worldwide and unusual combinations of previously unused gemstones created striking effects. Precious and semi-precious stones were juxtaposed, such as green jade, black onyx and colorless diamonds to achieve bold color contrasts and to emphasize the different ways in which gems reflect light.
