Style: Between Edwardian and Art Deco – The Edwardian era, or Edwardian period in the United Kingdom, corresponds to the reign of King Edward VII, from 1901 to 1910. The death of Queen Victoria in January 1901 and the accession of her son, Edward, to the throne mark the beginning of a new century and the end of the Victorian era. While Victoria remained apart from the world, Edward was at the head of an elegant elite who set a style influenced by the art and fashion of continental Europe—perhaps due to his taste for travel. This period is marked by significant political upheavals, with segments of society long excluded from power, such as workers and women, becoming increasingly politicized. The Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and decorative style born in Paris in the first decades of the 20th century. Emerging in the 1920s, this style lasted until after the Second World War. The term "Art Deco" became widespread after the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in 1925, which marked the peak of high-end modern style in Paris. Championed by the greatest creators of the decorative arts, such as fashion and interior decoration, the Art Deco influenced all areas of design during the 1920s and 1930s, including architecture, industrial design, and visual arts like painting, graphic arts, and cinema. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, glamorous, functional, and modern.

Stylistic features: As for its elegant design, this piece of jewelry combines the finesse of an Edwardian piece with the geometric shapes of the Art Deco, itself strongly influenced by cubism. However, the overlap of the Edwardian and Art Deco styles explains why some pieces, like this one, show influences from both movements.
