The geometric silhouettes of the linked chains in the collection seem especially contemporary, despite their Deco influence. Some of the chains are convertible, which means they can be worn in different lengths or divided into chokers and bracelets and even Y-necklaces that can be worn with clip- ons that turn them into bold pendants. In this way, they are designed to truly maximize your jewelry wardrobe. Art Deco jewelry was known for its exquisite finishing details, and these chains are no exception, with links crafted to incorporate tiny balls of gold on the surface. Combined with polished surfaces, this pure goldsmithing detail adds extra dimension and light reflection. Some of the links are set with diamonds — not just pavé, but substantial baguette-cut gems that are set between the long, stretched-out links. Earrings from the collection hang in perfect geometric alignment, with a combination of round and baguette shaped diamonds, resembling the dazzling Chrysler Building. They can be worn with matching bar necklaces that spread out horizontally across the cleavage and rings set with round and baguette diamonds with minimum metal and maximum sparkle. The overall look is true to its name: it is utterly modern and in sync with today’s jewelry trends, yet deliberately and carefully designed with an eye to the unmistakable elegance of the Art Deco style. This combination gives the Moderne Deco collection a classic quality. “My designs stand the test of time,” says Penny. “You will be able to pick them up 10 or 20 years from now, and they will still look stylish and relevant.”
