After World War I, the flowing lines of the Art Nouveau Era were soon replaced by the sharper angles and symmetrical, geometric designs of the Art Déco Era, circa 1915-1935.

The term Art Déco is derived from the Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts), which was held in Paris, France in 1925.  Modern art was now being incorporated into jewelry design.

Crafted by Larter & Sons in 14K gold and platinum, this elegant five-piece cufflinks and shirt stud dress set features natural diamonds set against circular black onyx discs.  The striking contrast of white diamonds against black onyx, combined with a clean geometric motif, exemplifies the refined aesthetic of the Art Deco era.

Each piece bears Larter & Sons’ registered maker’s mark and is hallmarked “14K.”  XRF analysis confirms construction in 14K gold and platinum.

The set is accompanied by its original fitted presentation box from William Barthman Jeweler, 174 Broadway, corner of Maiden Lane, New York—a notable period retailer—adding to its historical and collectible appeal.
