Better with Age - Art Deco

We recently purchased this pair of Art Deco clips signed by the famous French jeweler Mauboussin. Art Deco jewelry spans roughly from 1918-1938, and is one of the most sought after styles of jewelry. It is very popular among collectors due to its powerful aesthetic.

Art Deco jewelry is known for its strong geometric design. It is typically composed of platinum and diamonds and accented with small precious stones such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds. These clips are made using both round and baguette diamonds and accented with carved emeralds and rubies.

We often pleasantly surprise our clients, who don’t realize the value of their Art Deco jewelry. These clips are particularly valuable not only because of the era in which they were made, but also because of the Mauboussin signature. Print this post
