Shell earrings in Art Deco triangular shape

These Art  Deco shaped earrings are not for the faint hearted.  They are made from abalone shell and constantly change hue as they reflect the colours around them.  In dull light, there are subtle hints of blue, green and pink in the grains with a mainly grayish- brown background.  However, in any bright light, they dazzle with colour.  Both earrings have many shades, but in one the pink tinges show through more prominently than the blues and greens.  These colour variations are to be expected in a natural material.

They are 5 cm by 3.5 cm (2 by 1 /3/8 inches).

These amazing chameleon-like earrings are in good condition. 

Pierre Bex style Art Deco retro earrings

They are 5 cm long by 1.1 cm wide.  (2 by 3/8 in).

Art Deco tortoise shell drape earrings

These exquisite Art Deco beauties look like they are made from tortoise shell. There is a subtle grain and, held up to the light, the longer, thinner part of the drape is a rich brown that shows a cloud-like hazy stripe.  The back has natural markings that lend credence to the drape being made of an organic material. The folded over part is a deep dark brown, almost black.

They are a dramatic size, 6.5 cm by 1.9 cm (2.5  by 3/4 inches).

Art Deco enamel and diamante earrings

We believe these Art Deco earrings to be genuinely vintage rather than a retro copy.  They combine Art Deco motifs - both the triangle and the mix of diamante and enamel. The enamel is dark blue and ivory and the back is a smooth silver tone metal.

They are 6 cm by 1.1 cm (2 3/8  by 1/2 inches).

Art Deco style Egyptian Revival earrings

Ancient Egyptian jewellery had several revivals - including during the Art Deco period, this time influenced by the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922.  These stunners are varied shades of the popular turquoise enamel in a modified inverse fan shape.  The gold tone lines accent the colour, both enhanced by the movement of the earrings when worn.

They are 1.7 cm h and 2.5 cm w (3/4 by 1 inch).

These enamel Art Deco earrings are in first rate good condition.

Jade Art Deco bar brooch

Oriental jade jewellery was very popular in the 1920's and early 30's and the design of this silver tone brooch shows the geometric influence of the Art Deco period.  There is a  seed pearl (possibly faux) on each side of the jade stone.

The stone appears to be in the jadeite category of jade (as opposed to the more common and less valuable nephrite, which is generally much darker).  The stone is marbled, carved and pierced.  Good copies of jade were made from glass during this period, but the uneven texture of the back of the stone leads us to believe this is not a glass copy.

The length of the brooch is about 6 cm and 1 cm at the widest point (2.4 by .4 in).  The stone is 1.4 cm long and 1 cm wide (.6 by
.4 inch).  It is marked with numbers but we have not been able to interpret them.  It is in good vintage condition.

Art Deco teardrop earrings

This colour has been described as Art Deco green.  The walls of the Art Deco interior of Eltham Palace in South East London are painted in a similar colour.  These graceful elongated teardrops are made completely of plastic and have distinct ridges down the front, which gives a two tone effect.

The teardrop is 4.6 cm by 1.1 cm  (1 3/4 by 1/2 inches).

These vintage Art Deco earrings are in good condition apart from a small white mark at the top of the reverse side of one of the earrings, which would not show when worn.
