Item Description


Estate of the art

Drawing inspiration from the manicured hand of a millionaire heiress, we present an object of Art Deco desire!

Once upon a time you needed an invitation to see a ring this magnificent. That's because something so bold could only be found behind closed mansion doors adorned by America's idle rich. It was the golden age of conspicuous consumption. During the 1930s, socialites ruled the New York City nightlife. They threw lavish private parties, dined with celebrities, and wallowed in opulence. It was an extravagant life of leisure that demanded time and money. Fortunately, they had plenty of both. Back then, there was no better way to get noticed than with a staggering piece of jewelry like the Astoria Art Deco DiamondAura® Necklace and Earrings Set.

With the Astoria, the designers have created a true object of Art Deco desire. The vintage look is unmistakable, a note-perfect recreation of the era's signature sparkle, crafted with finely-worked sterling silver and lab-created DiamondAura. A gorgeous round sits high at the center of the ornate setting; flanked by a half dozen tapered baguettes and 52 glittering, micro set rounds. Thanks to science, the lab created luster of DiamondAura flickers with even more fire and clarity than mined diamonds. That means your version of Art Deco decadence flashes even brighter than the stones once flaunted by the Princesses of Park Avenue.

It wasn't just the rare stones that made those Art Deco treasures so valuable. The level of craftsmanship blurred the lines between accessory and art. You'll find that this Astoria Necklace and Earrings Set stays true to the elegance of the originals.
