Deco Diamonds

Diamond is the traditional birthstone for April.    It is the hardest known naturally occurring material.  Diamonds are the symbol of love and corresponds to the 60th wedding anniversary.  We can only aspire to make it that long!   In any event, its worth the wait!   Diamonds have been used widely in art deco jewelry designs. 

The example we see below combines weighty sapphires with beautifully designed flowers encrusted with diamonds.  Pearl drops cascade as leaves below the diamond flowers.   This earring pair was designed in 1920 and is being sold by Fourtane (courtesy of Pinterest).
