$27,500.00
This glittering Art Deco Handmade Platinum Emerald & Diamond Dress Clip doubles as a pendant and is a striking addition to any collection!
This Art Deco Platinum Emerald and Diamond Dress Clip is a stunning example of the opulence and innovation characteristic of the Art Deco era, which flourished during the 1920s and 1930s. Dress clips, once a staple of fashion jewellery, were originally designed to attach to clothing—whether on a dress, jacket, or hat—adding a dash of glamour and elegance to an outfit.
Unlike brooches, which were typically pinned in a single location, dress clips could be fastened in various positions, allowing the wearer to enhance their outfit with a versatile, statement-making accessory. Dress clips were worn by both women and men, but in the early 20th century, they became especially popular in women’s fashion, serving as a way to complement evening wear and formal attire.
Crafted in platinum, this dress clip exemplifies the sophistication and luxury of the Art Deco period. Platinum was prized during the era for its strength, rarity, and lustrous appearance, which made it a perfect choice for showcasing diamonds and gemstones. The design of the Platinum Emerald and Diamond Dress Clip is both geometric and fluid, with sharp lines and angles juxtaposed with curves and intricate detailing—a hallmark of the Art Deco aesthetic.
The combination of emerald and diamonds adds to the drama and elegance of the piece. The clip features a cabochon emerald, a smooth, rounded stone that contrasts beautifully with the angular diamond settings around it. Cabochon stones, unlike faceted gemstones, are polished into a smooth, rounded shape, which highlights the rich colour and depth of the emerald.
Today, this Platinum Emerald and Diamond Dress Clip would make a remarkable addition to any jewellery collection, offering a glimpse into the glamour and sophistication of a bygone era while still holding its own as a statement piece for contemporary wear.
