French Art Deco gold filigree necklace c.1920

This French necklace from the Art Deco period, c.1920, is crafted in 18k solid gold and measures 44.5 cm in length.

The design features a rhythmic sequence of openwork geometric elements, each formed with fine gold wire into symmetrical, stylized heart-like contours. These delicate filigree drops are suspended from elongated oval links, echoing the necklace’s visual lightness and creating a unified, fluid rhythm. The clean lines and ordered repetition reflect the core aesthetics of the Art Deco period—where clarity, balance, and geometry define beauty.

Despite the number of articulated components, the necklace is remarkably lightweight and comfortable to wear. It drapes naturally along the neckline, with a softness that belies its structured form—graceful, refined, and quietly expressive.

In good antique condition with minor oxidation and surface wear appropriate to age. As condition assessment is subjective, please click and enlarge the photos to examine further details.
