Country of origin: France
Style: Art Deco - The Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style that originated in Paris in the early decades of the 20th century. Appearing in the 1920s, this style lasted until after World War II. The term "Art Deco" was widely used for the first time after an exhibition in 1966, in reference to the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, which marked the peak of high-end modern style in Paris. Championed by the best designers of the decorative arts, such as fashion and interior decoration, Art Deco influenced all areas of design throughout the 1920s and 1930s, notably architecture and industrial design, as well as visual arts like painting, graphic arts, and cinema. At the time, this style was perceived as elegant, glamorous, functional, and modern.

Stylistic features: Abstract motifs and geometric shapes are typical of the Art Deco period. Art Deco moves away from the soft pastels and organic forms of its predecessor, Art Nouveau, and draws inspiration from many styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Neoclassicism, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, and Futurism. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties and continued in the United States until the 1930s. Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco is purely decorative.

Additional information: Tutti Frutti - This type of jewelry, set with brightly colored gemstones polished in the shape of leaves, is called "Tutti Frutti jewelry." The first Tutti Frutti piece was a necklace commissioned by Queen Alexandra and designed by Pierre Cartier in 1901. Tutti Frutti jewelry is considered a perfect blend of East and West, as it is made up of brightly colored gemstones (such as sapphires, rubies, and emeralds) carved using Indian techniques and set on French mounts in platinum and diamonds. This style became extremely popular in the 1920s, but was not named "Tutti Frutti" until 1970.
Diamonds: 42 old brilliant-cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of approximately 2.94 ct. (approximate color and clarity G/J, vs/si) and ten smaller old brilliant-cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of approximately 0.15 ct.
Note: All diamond weights, color grades, and clarity are approximate as the stones have not been removed from their settings to preserve the integrity of the mounting.
Total diamond weight: approximately 3.09 ct.
Gemstones: Quatre sapphires and three emeralds, all polished and carved in leaf shapes.
