Art Deco Diamanté Belt in Red and White Jazz Age Design - remarkable

This amazing Art Deco diamanté belt dates from the roaring twenties into the 1930s.  It is a beautiful piece and is in extremely good order.  The bright red and white jewels are all individually claw-set into white metal mounts - a laborious task at the time and one probably carried out by a skilled artisan.  You can imagine a Flapper with her low-waisted frock wearing this sparkling beauty to a dance and enjoying the jazz music - it transports you back to that exciting time! 

Whoever owned this belt really looked after because the condition is amazing for a piece from this era with hardly any signs of age. It is excellent all round with twinkly Crystal rhinestones and its wire thread construction still very flexible. It would be perfect to wear or to be displayed in a collection of 1920s or 1930s Art Deco fashion accessories. 

There are more than 250 round facet-cut white diamanté jewels and a similar number of red jewels in the belt; all would have been hand set in individual cups with claws. The quality of these jewels is superb with clear facets and deep sparkle. The Rhombus shaped buckle also has matching red and white jewels set in it to great effect. The buckle and end closure fastens with a simple hook and eye and is backed by fabric. The fabric shows it's age. The length of the belt when closed is approximately 30.5 inches, it does not allow for adjustment. I wonder if this belt was couture-made in this size to go with a particular dress.  Measurements are Belt three quarters of an inch inch at its wide, full length when laid flat on a surface is 32 inches long from end to end including the buckle. The Rhomboid shape buckle buckle being 1.5 inches by 2.5 inches. ​​​​​​
