Isaac Manevitz for Ben-Amun, designer. Apollo Bracelet. Water pearls, Swarovski crystal, and antique silver.

The Apollo is a Deco-inspired pearl-and-crystal bracelet for the jewelry line Ben-Amun as part of their Classic Pearl and Crystal collection. The pendant features a crystal sunburst motif.

Art Deco became most well-known for the stylized symmetry found in Deco and Deco-inspired products. The geometric Sunburst motif is an iconic part of Art Deco fashion and decor. Because of the ubiquity of the sunburst motif, the invocation of Apollo was and continues to be extremely common in Deco-inspired products.
