During my favorite google search, I came across the beautiful bracelet above and quickly discovered this great article on Art Deco jewellery via Ego Design. The article is en francais - and there are many other beautiful images to enjoy. It discusses a past exhibition at Les arts decoratifs...here's a bit of info from the article:
The exhibition is both a celebration of Art Deco jewellery and of the work of the jeweller and precious metalsmith Jean Després (1889-1980). 180 of this major yet little-known artist’s works, inspired by Cubism and machinery, are being shown together for the first time, alongside works by the great names of French jewellery in the 1930s: Jean Fouquet, Gérard Sandoz, Raymond Templier (all three members of the Union des Artistes Modernes), and also by architects (Robert Mallet Stevens), interior designers, (Jean Dunand) and silversmiths (Jean Puiforcat), all illustrating the formidable attraction jewellery exercised over the artists of the period.
I like the brushed elegance, the simple design. Very classic, I'd wear it everyday.
This set is stunning, it looks like disco balls (and from the 1930s, talk about being ahead of the times).
