Art Deco Musician with Sousaphone Pendant

A rare French platinum jazz band sousaphone player charm style pendant from the Art Deco period (1930), featuring and eye-catching combination of diamonds, red rubies, green emeralds and orange citrines. Showcasing the renowned geometric forms of the era, this colourful array of expertly shaped gemstones has been rub over set in the shape of a sousaphone player. The unmistakeable tone of this instrument can almost be heard with the detailed instrument bringing this piece to life. This characterful figure has been suspended from a 40cm chain enabling it to be worn and enjoyed from day to night. Encapsulated on the written page in the prose of F. Scott Fitzgerald in his novel The Great Gatsby, nothing showcases the freedom and gaiety of the 1930s better than this beautiful jewel. Around this time, the technology for diamond cutting improved, so jewellers were able to achieve various geometric cuts. This was an opportune moment to create beautiful jewellery inspired by Cubism, Futurism and Machine Aesthetic.
