Item Description

ART DECO-Think Chrysler Building, cars that were as flamboyant as the architecture and the mesmerizing sets of Baz Luhrmann's Great Gatsby. This visual celebration of  machine age imagery and materials changed design in every sense of the word across the globe until the end of WW II.

Jewelry was no exception. This splendid pendant from Germany, circa 1936, with its rich saturated enameled colors, fluid lines and fine craftsmanship is an exquisite example  will only increase in value.

Whether it's suspended from a chain  of gold or a strand of silk, this visual tribute to the Art Deco era will always be in style!

Dimensions: 2 1/8" x 1/2" x 1/2"

Stone is most likely Lapis Lazuli.
