Art Deco style took the 1920s into the future though it drew on the romanticised past. Egyptian and Aztec motifs were present in the geometric and decorative style where angled lines, pyramids and lotus flowers featured prominently. Oscar de la Renta’s Art Deco inspired ‘Russian Gold and Resin Wild Flower Necklace’ harks back to the glamorous era of Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutenkhamun’s gold (1922) while avoiding the pharaonic curses.

This extraordinarily crafted necklace showcases a perfect juxtaposition of the subtlety and delicacy of radiant vermillion wild flower petals rendered in beautiful persimmon resin, with the sharp spike of leaves layered with Russian gold.

This statement piece is sure to turn heads whether worn on the red carpet or at an anniversary dinner. To ensure the necklace shines, consider keeping your look minimal. A perfect match for this gold treasure is Oscar de la Renta’s Lurex Knit Degrade Dress or the less demure Elephant Embroidered Silk Faille Cocktail Dress and pair with classic black Louboutin Pigalle pumps.
