1920’s Jewelry

October 4, 2008

After the First World War the new fashions for women were casual as well as sporty, and were not very well suited to the formal nature of precious stones. The Art Nouveau movement had already shifted the public's focus to appearance rather than cost so following the first world war there was a major trend toward non-precious jewelry.

The  1920's Art Deco movement used strong colors and geometric shapes to convey the "modern" look. It used sleek, streamlined forms to convey elegance and sophistication. Jewelry materials ranged from the new plastics through to rubies, gold, and platinum. Platinum was the new luxury metal used with stones like coral, jade, aquamarine, citrine, onyx and opal. Trend-setting designers were Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli.

Inspiration came from such diverse sources as Nature, China and Japan, and the Pharaohs of Egypt.
