A striking pair earrings featuring elegant black and white enamel dangles from the 1920s crafted in 14k gold and suspended from garnet-set surmounts. The bold contrast of black and white enamel is emblematic of the Art Deco era, reflecting the period’s fascination with graphic design, strong color contrasts, and refined geometry. The enamel work remains crisp and visually impactful, offering timeless sophistication and period authenticity.
The enamel dangles are original 1920s elements, while the garnet surmounts were newly added, thoughtfully chosen to complement the earrings’ color palette and enhance wearability while maintaining a cohesive, historically sympathetic design. The garnets introduce warmth and a subtle flash of color, elevating the overall composition without detracting from the antique enamel work.
Each earring measures approximately 1.65 inches from the top of the ear wire to the bottom by 0.6 inches wide, and the pair has a combined weight of 1.41 grams, making them lightweight and comfortable to wear. The gold components have been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s testing, confirming their 14k composition. In great vintage condition, these earrings are beautiful examples of 1920s enamel jewelry, ideal for collectors who appreciate Art Deco contrast, thoughtful restoration, and elegant movement.
