Description
This exquisitely luminous, flawless citrine in a scissor cut is bound to captivate! The 80-carat gemstone was set in the 1920s in a gold-plated mount featuring four pointed prongs and a recessed bezel. The stone was transformed into an Art Déco jewel, completed with a loop adorned with faceted rock crystals.
Citrines were highly sought after during this era. The sleek geometric designs and vibrant color palette of the period favored jewelry showcasing bold, sunny hues. The citrine’s bright, fresh, and positively radiant shade of yellow harmonized perfectly with the colorful and extravagant style of Art Déco. Over the decades, preferences for different shades of yellow shifted, often moving toward richer, deeper tones. These trends reflect the spirit of the times and, ultimately, the personality of the wearer.
