Introduction to Jewellery History
Jewelry design has undergone a fascinating transformation over the years. Each decade has introduced its own set of styles, reflecting broader cultural, economic, and artistic trends. Here’s a journey through time, highlighting how jewelry has evolved from the 1920s to the 1990s.
1920s to 1950s: Art Deco and Retro
The 1920s - Art Deco
The Roaring Twenties marked the beginning of the Art Deco period, which significantly influenced jewelry design. Art Deco jewelry embraced geometric shapes, symmetry, and bold colors. Think of long, dangling earrings with sharp angles and necklaces featuring diamonds set in platinum. This era's jewelry was all about making a statement, mirroring the opulence and innovation of the time.

The 1950s - Retro
Moving into the 1950s, jewelry took a turn towards what we now call Retro design. This period was characterized by a return to more organic forms, with an emphasis on floral motifs and the use of bold, colorful gemstones like aquamarine and citrine. The jewelry from this decade was less about the extravagance of the 20s and more about personal expression and warmth.

Gold chains, simple studs, and delicate, less ornate designs became popular. The focus was on quality over quantity, aligning with our philosophy of offering premium, hand-crafted items.
