AN ART DÉCO ONYX AND AVENTURINE QUARTZ PENDANT, BY GÉRARD SANDOZ
Of tiered geometric design, centering a matte rectangular panel between asymetrically-set aventurine quartz and onyx semi-circles, with polished gold panels accents, 1929, 10.5 cm, with French assay mark for gold
Signed Gérard Sandoz

Gérard Sandoz was born in Paris in 1902 into a family of jewellers and watchmakers. After finishing school, he worked for the Maison Sandoz as a jewellery designer. In 1929 he joined the Union des Artistes Modernes, commonly known as UAM. The aim of this association was to promote and defend modern art, which they believed had to originate from contemporary life. They produced monumental pieces of jewellery, imposing bangles, sculptural rings and massive pendants. Metal played an important role in their creations, either polished or matte. Sandoz closed the firm in 1931 to devote himself completely to painting and cinema, which makes his pieces all the more desirable.
