Notable Features: This sterling silver pendant was completely handmade during the Art Deco period. The pendant features an arching, arabesque flower design, with a tiny rosette and granulated bead accent between each petal. There is a ring of little rosettes that frame the center of the flower, and lead to a larger, teired connical rosette that sits in the center. All of the little rosettes add a wonderful texture and accentuate the flowing lines of this piece. There is a bale and a C clasp on the back of the pendant, so it can be worn as a necklace, or as a pin brooch. This elegantly simple pin brooch necklace pendant would make a wonderful gift!

Damage: Age appropriate wear. The C clasp on the back of the pendant has been bent out of shape, but the piece can still be worn as a pin brooch as is. If desired, your local jeweler can easily re-shape it.

The History

This beautiful piece was made in the Art Deco Era! The Art Deco Era is famous for being the "Gatsby" or "Roaring Twenties" Era. A lot of gorgeous and timeless designs in jewelry came out of this period.

During the Art Deco Period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would often take weeks to months to completely craft by hand.

Arabesques were very popular in antique Turkish, Islamic and Bedouin jewelry, and consist of repeating rhythmic patterns, which often feature geometric floral and organic designs.
