Antique Necklaces & Vintage Art Deco Pendants

Art Deco necklaces often feature striking geometric patterns, inspired by the modernist movements of the early 20th century. These pieces typically incorporate materials such as platinum, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and rubies, reflecting the opulence and glamour of the era.

One iconic example of Art Deco jewellery are long chains adorned with tassels or pendants, popularised during the 1920s and 1930s. These necklaces exude a sense of sophistication and style, perfect for accessorising evening attire or adding a touch of vintage flair to contemporary fashion.

Beyond Art Deco, antique necklaces span a wide range of styles and periods, from the intricate filigree of Victorian jewellery to the bold colours of the Retro period. Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship, history, and timeless beauty, making vintage and antique necklaces cherished treasures for generations to come.
