The structure takes on a slender shape, evoking both a \u003cstrong\u003estylized feather\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003efloral motif\u003c\/strong\u003e, two recurring themes in jewelry from the first half of the 20th century. The composition plays on the contrasts between straight lines and soft curves, creating an impression of movement and lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece is entirely set with \u003cstrong\u003e25 old-cut diamonds\u003c\/strong\u003e (8\/8 cut or old brilliant cut), each weighing approximately \u003cstrong\u003e0.01 to 0.02 carats\u003c\/strong\u003e. This corresponds to a total weight of between \u003cstrong\u003e0.25 and 0.50 carats\u003c\/strong\u003e. These diamonds, characterized by a softer sparkle than modern brilliant cuts, give the piece a \u003cstrong\u003edelicate and warm brilliance\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfectly in keeping with the spirit of antique jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a total weight of \u003cstrong\u003e2.34 g\u003c\/strong\u003e, this piece remains light and easy to wear, designed to enhance an outfit without excessive heaviness. Its meticulous craftsmanship and harmonious proportions suggest that it could have been worn as a \u003cstrong\u003ependant\u003c\/strong\u003e or as a \u003cstrong\u003econvertible brooch element\u003c\/strong\u003e, according to the fashion of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStylistically, the symmetrical lines, subtle geometry, and openwork evoke the aesthetic vocabulary of \u003cstrong\u003elate Art Deco\u003c\/strong\u003e (1930s–40s). However, the fluidity of the more natural and vegetal forms already heralds the creations of the \u003cstrong\u003eRetro style\u003c\/strong\u003e (1940s–50s), characterized by softer volumes and floral inspirations. This piece of jewelry is thus at the crossroads of the two styles, which gives it a particular interest for collectors and lovers of antique jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Marchand de Bijoux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57646339850571,"sku":"A.1332.02483-4","price":880.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/3663\/4955\/files\/15817459040587-3e5d4fbd294e059a04ff65eaa3d3fec7445f1c83.jpg?v=1782135912","url":"https:\/\/marchand-de-bijoux.com\/en\/products\/pendentif-en-or-blanc-et-jaune-18k-avec-diamants-fleur-de-lys","provider":"Marchand de Bijoux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
